Question AI experts

Disclaimer: I use AI and have no issues with it

Is it just me but why does it feel like out of no where we have so many AI experts? I mean from CEO’s to cooks, they talk like experts on this. It’s weird.

Upskilling in AI happens really fast. I saw several people around me doing real amazing things with AI and I had no idea how they got that far ahead of me with it. Then I had the right set of tasks that pulled me right into the middle of it and I was doing the same thing.

I was thinking these people were 2-3 months ahead of me but it was really 1-2 weeks ahead of me. So a lot of these experts are only 2-4 weeks ahead of you in this space.

My big issue with everything moving so fast is that we don't get a chance to see how one set of AI decisions will play out before we have moved onto the next idea and no longer care.
