@evanEvan Prodromou @futurebirdmyrmepropagandist @emilymbenderProf. Emily M. Bender(she/her) a lot of promises are overblown, going from very optimistic, to totally unrealistic, and a lot of wide gaps are not really seeing any progress.

But two things can be true at the same time, and it's also true that many people find uses cases for which they didn't have a better solution before, from identifying an object, finding the word they are thinking about, learning about a concept, etc, sometimes it's a bad usage, sometimes it's a fine one.
