The true power of #genAI is not technological, but rhetorical: almost all conversations about it are about what executives are saying it will do "one day" or "soon" rather than what we actually see (and of course no mention of business model which doesn't exist).
We are told to simultaneously believe AI is so "early days" as to excuse any lack of real usefulness, and that it is so established - even "too big to fail" - that we are not permitted to imagine a future without it.
