In the dial-up era, the industry was young, there were no established players, it was all a big green field.

The situation is far from similar now. Now there's an app for everything and you must use all of them to function, which is both great and horrible.

From my experience, current generation of AI is unreliable and so cannot be trusted. It makes non-obvious mistakes and often sends you off on tangents, which consumes energy and leads to confusion.

It's an opinion I've built up over time from using AI extensively. I would have expected my opinion to improve after 3 years, but it hasn't.
