That said, here's my prediction
Technologically clueless CEOs will believe the hypemongers and spend a lot of money on early AI systems
Some will work well, some OK and some will fail catastrophically
Eventually, a balance will be found, but the transition will not be smooth

Trying to use the touchscreen while moving is nearly impossible
I don't like touchscreens for anything, but when parked, they are usable
When bouncing around, even on a smooth road, it takes multiple pokes to activate functions
To make it worse, every software update moves stuff around and often makes the touch target smaller and harder to see

...useful for some things, imperfect, and rapidly improving.
Future AI is unknown and unpredictable, but this doesn't stop the hypemongers, pundits and futurists.
The general public has no facts to base their opinion on, so the opinion is worthless.

...they hype vastly exceeds reality
When billions are at stake, hypemongers use over optimistic predictions as bait to attract investment
I agree with LeCun, AGI will not be achieved using current LLM tech
New approaches will be needed

... endless superhero movies.
It's also a lack of creativity with remakes, reboots, "franchises" and other endless retelling of old stories.
Theaters are dinosaurs that deserve to die. They were once necessary because of the tech of the time, but today there is nothing pleasant about the theater experience

I suspect that most of this "music" is not made by creative people who "don't need to have fine motor skills on the piano". I suspect that most is made by scammers and mercenaries who want to harvest money by putting in minimal effort

That said, there is very little art in mercenary pop music created by teams of producers, arrangers, trendmongers, choeographers, stylists and others. It's artless industrial product, carefully crafted to be almost identical to what's popular, with just enough difference to avoid copyright trouble. It's kinda like teams of experts doing their best to imitate AI

...they might either be useful or awful

They could be useful for providing subtitles to those with hearing problems or for translating language
They could be useful for providing help or recording interesting observations
Here's one example. I am working on repairing a machine and I encounter a part I don't understand. If the glasses could scan the part, look it up and display a description of its function, it would be helpful. If it was broken, the glasses could offer prices and availability of replacements

They could become awful if they pester the user with ads
They could be awful if they were used as part of a silly, pop culture fad
They could be awful if they were used by totalitarian governments for surveillance

...increasingly unpredictable
Hypemongers continue to make inflated predictions in order to get investment or attention
Real progress is being made, but it's nowhere near the hype

Run away
AI needs local compute

Yet the economic pundits continue to promote the myth that endless growth is possible and write headlines that complain about growth being a bit low.
We need steady-state sustainability

Getting a basic understanding of how code works is good
Talent is real. It takes a special kind of mind to be good at software development and not all can do it. Add to that the rise of AI, and the path to riches in software development is not clear or easy, and few will make it

It's not a scam
It's a bunch of evolving tech that is getting increasingly useful
Unfortunately, because money is involved, the hypemongers vastly overstate the actual progress

Advertisers, governments, the military and others have been lying to us for years.
Sometimes the lies can be kinda justified, like in wartime to keep secrets from the enemy.
Other times lying is used to cover up incompetence, fraud or inconvenient truths that may lead to loss of profit or political power.
Reasonable people develop a strong sense of skepticism. Others decide to stop believing everything except for the most insane fringe delusions.

Lying causes unintended consequences that are almost always bad

The answer is yes, it's OK to eliminate mosquitos.
Some people waste far too much time thinking about silly questions.

...and have had a very successful career as a software engineer.
I can't touch type. I tried to learn but just couldn't do it.
Being able to think deeply about complex designs is important, typing is not.
