Most of the big services seem to waste so much time clunking through updating and editing files.

I'm no expert but I can't help feeling there's lots of things they could be doing vastly better in this regard - presumably there is lots to do and they will get around to it.

My head canon is that the thing that preemptively pops the bubble is Apple coming out and saying, very publicly, that AI is a dead end, and they are dropping it completely (no more half assed implicit promises).

And not just that, they come out with an iPhone that has _no_ camera as an attempt to really distance themselves from all the negative press tech (software and internet in particular) has at the moment.
