I agree about skills actually, but it's also obvious that parent is making a very real point that you cannot just dismiss. For several years now and far short of wild AGI promises, the answer to literally every issue with casual or production AI has been something like "but the rate of model improvement.." or "but the tools and ecosystem will evolve.."

If you believe that uncritically about everything else, then you have to answer why agentic workflows or MCP or whatever is the one thing that it can't evolve to do for us. There's a logical contradiction here where you really can't have it both ways.

Nobody serious, like every single AI CEO out there? I mean I agree, nobody should be taking them seriously, yet we're fast on track for a global financial meltdown because of these fraudsters and their "non-serious" words.

> nobody serious is promising that

There is a staggering number of unserious folks in the ears of people with corporate purchasing power.

OpenAI is going to get to AGI. And AGI should in minutes build a system that takes vague input and produces fully functioning product out of it. Isn't singularity being promised by them?
