I agree with you. I think chat interfaces are really good with voice interfaces while walking, asking for a foreign language lesson, effectively doing a web search while walking by speaking and listening to the answer.
Other app-like interfaces like NotebookLM can be useful, for me one or two real uses a week.
Then there is engineering small open models into larger systems to do structured data extraction, etc.
I am skeptical about the current utility of agentic systems, MCP, etc. - even though I like to experiment.
Someone else said that at least the didn’t go on and on about AGI today - a nice thing. FOMO chasing ASI and AGI will drive us bankrupt, and produce some useful results.
