I have read that so many times for so many different technologies, of course at some point someone will be right. And then we will probably say "they were visionary". And of course the CEO of Microsoft hopes that Copilot will be the new revolution: they make money out of it.

I usually don't believe those claims, and most of the time I am right (I think I haven't been wrong in my life yet). Nobody calls me a visionary though :-).

I think I kinda like where this is headed --- and I generally consider myself to be an AI skeptic.

This is not Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) taking control of society and destroying humanity --- which is pure BS at this point --- kinda like full self driving autos or living on Mars.

This is AI and language skills applied in a smaller, more limited, controlled and predictable environment --- your PC and your work place.

I think this might have some potential to change the game of computing.
