+ AI tools are constantly "6 months" from really getting awesome • Birchtree

A challenge these A.I. tools have is that we’re coming down from the novelty high we had at the launch of ChatGPT a year and a half ago and now they need to deliver on actual use cases that make people’s lives better. As someone who uses Claude almost everyday, I think there’s clearly something there, but the big promises from these companies feel like they’re constantly falling short of those promises. We can’t constantly be “6 months away” from these finally achieving the exponential capabilities they supposedly have.

I do think some real world use-cases already exist like copilot for coding, improved autofill and there are many improvements to things like keyboards in mobile and soon keyboards in even smaller screens.

And this is why LLMs are very exciting in the development / tech community.

The mainstream use case isn't out there yet. My prediction is also that even these devices - as they exist today - aren't it. They are just trying to leverage the time to replace the primary hardware device from the candy bar shaped phone to their thing.

There's still time and I also really want people to take the time to think through a ground breaking product and use case.
