It’s been a bit weird for me lately, watching AI get blown out of proportion.
We’ve witnessed rapid advancements, yet everyone seems to be expecting overnight wonders.
Let’s be real. Perfect tech is a fantasy, and claiming otherwise is a red flag.
What’s truly crucial is focusing on what technology should achieve and for whom.
Let’s prioritize the customer’s needs before the tech itself.
Yes, exploring the current AI landscape is fascinating.
But from the perspective of someone that’s building in this space, I understand the emerging doubts.
The industry has flirted with the idea of AI as a magic wand.
However, the reality is that AI, including large language models, is a work in progress.
They’re tools – potent, yet imperfect and still evolving.
And just because we can build something doesn’t mean we should.
Remember your audience and the problem you’re trying to solve.
Success comes from developing products that meaningfully solve specific challenges for specific groups.
Less hype, more value.
