100% that. It's even in the name.
People vastly overestimate the capabilities of AI, but perhaps worse, people are simply unaware of the limitations. The hype took over, but it is (slowly) coming down to realistic levels.
We also could use more public knowledge of the sheer amount of data and energy it takes to train these models which still, by definition, end up with limited scope. It's actually incredibly wasteful.
Nvidia knows exactly what current AI can and can't do. They built a lot of the underlying technology to bring it within the realm of possibility.
That doesn't mean there isn't a path to actual AI or that nvidia can't play a big role in getting there. If you want to do a lot of highly parallel math, Nvidia has the expertise for that.
