- AI marketing often overhypes capabilities, presenting AI as a replacement for human experts to drive subscriptions and sales.
- Tools like compilers and spreadsheets augment human expertise rather than replace it; the real value lies in understanding and decision-making, not just output.
- AI companies leverage current investor hype to build capital and dependency, but will eventually need to prove real-world value and financial metrics.
- The ideal future for AI involves complementing and empowering human experts, similar to how game engines enabled skilled developers to realize projects.
- Initiatives like Midjourney Medical exemplify the potential for AI to enhance expert capabilities, though they risk being overshadowed by consumerist marketing.
