I wouldn’t underestimate it. Many people said simular things when computers came out, or the internet was new. Think about AI now like a 1985 computer or 1995 internet. What you see now is the start of it, not the finished product. With all the money going into it combined with how computers / AI learns new things, it likely will be fast developments.
This will date me a bit, but my school computer science teacher once told me that I wasted my money on a 2GB drive, because no one would ever use so much storage space in their life time.
I don’t think many are doubting that AI is going places, it’s the folks who are talking about AI taking over all our jobs (particularly when they’re talking about high skill jobs) within a few years that we’re making fun of.

… and then later that same year, no doubt: zip drives were all the rage. 🤪
It still boggles the mind to look at the pic of that boiler-sized memory (1KB, IIRC?) from waaaay back next to a current micro SD card (nTB).
