of all the things that could be done w/ IT w/ the millions of tasks that IT could do. It'll be the same way w/ AI. Every time it seems like, when a new technology comes in, that everything will be changed overnight, and that that the heavens will part, and all will be done perfectly!

Those of you who have worked in bringing technology into the workplace, and teaching others in your workplace and home, know exactly what I'm talking about. It takes time (building the vast amount of labor required to write AI, etc.), as well as finding the money to replace the old IT code by the trillions of line of code, it costs money, lots of money.

Be well.
