Chatbot letdown: Hype hits rocky reality (www.axios.com)

Grumbles about generative AI's shortcomings are coalescing into a "trough of disillusionment" after a year and a half of hype about ChatGPT and other bots.
Why it matters: AI is still changing the world — but improving and integrating the technology is raising harder and more complex questions than first envisioned, and no chatbot has the magic answers.
Driving the news: The hurdles are everything from embarrassing errors, such as extra fingers or Black founding fathers in generated images, to significant concerns about intellectual property infringement, cost, environmental impact and other issues.

Nobody fired workers because of AI, that's just the narrative so they don't have to say "we're running out of money".

A lot of top level big brains thought they could fire people and replace them with AI, cause for them they're like robots they see in movies.
