You’re absolutely right for now. These tools keep getting better so who knows what we’ll have in 2-3 years, but the marketing is running like 5 years ahead of the actual tech and overselling everything.

Thanks for sharing your ground experience! This is exactly the kind of real-world feedback we need more of. Your “glorified spreadsheet with extra steps” description is chef’s kiss 👌

Lol, yes! AI companies know exactly what they’re doing when they program their bots to say ‘I.’ Thanks for leaving a comment!

My kids named our Roomba and get upset when it gets “stuck.” We’re all doing it.

100% exaggerated. I work in logistics here in Houston and we “upgraded” to an AI system last year that was supposed to revolutionize our supply chain. It’s basically a glorified spreadsheet with extra steps. We need MORE people to babysit the system now.

I think it’s a mix. Some AI stuff is genuinely impressive (ChatGPT for brainstorming is solid) but the “AI will replace everyone” narrative is pure marketing drama. Most AI I’ve used feels like really good pattern matching, not the sci-fi intelligence everyone talks about. The hype definitely outpaces the reality.
