    Ye-es, and if you call your automation "industrial planning\programming\optimization" the way I've seen it first in a student book, you won't be understood at all, despite that literally describing what you are doing. Probably making every piece of progress part of popular culture wasn't a good idea. But that started in the middle of XX century, with various new materials based on oil products being regularly invented. Events analogous to a "new material" with computers are a bit rare and very removed from the customer. Yet the popular culture demands some show of progress. They don't see a lot of real progress in UI\UX\web - monopolies and stuff. So - new applications become subjects of such hype. I remember the P2P hype, that was kinda real. Torrents felt like magic. I remember the "metaverse" hype, that's rather old, I didn't find any satisfaction for that, but probably a group of friends and a Second Life instance could be nice. Minecraft suffices for people today, it's easier and cool enough. I also remember "dynamic web" hype in my childhood, webpages were static, you'd press F5 to check new posts on a roleplaying forum. But there were nice-looking, dynamic, cool, and very inconvenient Flash applications here and there. You wanted to have both the cleanness and interop of the Web and the power and wow-factor of such applications. I wanted that too. Now I understand how dumb I was. The cryptocurrencies hype - it was a legitimate subject of discussions for intelligent people, how do you use cryptography to create a value exchange resilient to oppression, because without exchanging real value freedom is not achievable. That was, unfortunately, in the narrow understanding of the rules where the government can demand something from you, but can't force you or torture you or steal from you. Thus BTC is not anonymous, intentionally. There was simultaneously the big data hype, it was discussed as if it's not Google's and FB's pathway to power, but the opposite - finding systemic traits in human societies, probably using that analysis to build a better web, yadda-yadda. Then that mutated to the AI hype. But that also wasn't about yelling "we found AI, give us money", that was about neural nets yielding funny texts and discussions as to whether good enough imitation is real intelligence. Almost like fashion.

    Define AGI, because recently the definition is shifting down to match LLM. In fact we can say we achieved AGI now because we have machine that answers questions. The problem will be when the number of questions will start shrinking not because of number of problems but number of people that understand those problems. That is what is happening now. Don't believe me, read the statistics about age and workforce. Now put it into urgent need to something to replace those people. After that think what will happen when all those attempts fail.

    If anyone ever tells you they can't hire enough of blank they are lying to you. People have been running excellent 911 service all over the country for longer than I've been alive maybe they should ask someone?

    I'm not a Bing fan either because it used to be regurgitated Google results. For now I'm just self-hosting an instance of SearXNG. Copilot is pretty good for Azure stuff though, really I just like it because it always has links back to Microsoft's documentation (even though it's constantly changing).
