The underlying technology is still very cool, just the way it is shoved down everyones throats is not, and the way they suck up everything humans created.
It is very useful for a whole lot of things. But it is like a hammer. A single tool with some functions, but you're going to have a bad time if you think you can fix everything with a hammer. Also not worth burning the world for.
Yeah, this is the part that it feels like 80% of the world missed and/or doesn't understand. The techbros usurped the term "AI", applied it to this generative token predicting garbage, and renamed the other stuff "AGI". In today's terms if we want to look back at all that cool 'AI' stuff from movies and science fiction past, we need to call that stuff "AGI" to level set the terminology.
