    He talks about applications he generated without specifying what they are or do. Does he really believe everybody is going to generate their own text editor, paint program, file explorer or graphical windowing environment with A.I. just because they can?

    I believe the author is misguided about A.I.'s capabilities just like many analysts and investors are.

    A.I. (or should I say LLMs) is useful for specific problems but contrary to its name it has no "intelligence."

      Out of curiosity, what definition of "intelligence" are you using when you say that an LLM doesn't have it?

        True reasoning capabilities and continuous learning.

        And self-awareness for bonus points.
