I'm usually the one saying "AI is already as good as it's gonna get, for a long while."

This article, in contrast, is quotes from folks making the next AI generation - saying the same.

Every company have always oversell their own products. This is not new.

Coca Cola is also just a carbonated sweet drink and it's being sold as happiness, socialization and the meaning of Christmas in a bottle.

Companies oversell, it's called marketing. It's shit practice but it's not nothing new.

That does not make the technology worse (or better). Current AI technology has its uses. With a big problem in how resource hungry it is. But it's fairly useful.
