I meant the hype, not that the technology peaked in itself. We don't have nanobot bodies with AI AR controlling everything, that's still possible. But the idea that AI will kill creativity, take all jobs, solve everything etc and change the world in unexpected ways, that belief went down the drain in a mere 2 years.

Now it's back to being just a technology, because the limitations have been exposed, one of them being that it's very vulnerable to human meddling from non-technologists trying to impose "values" on technology. The other is that the limitations are very technological in nature, aside from just lack of capacity.

It was fun seeing that Bing Copilot could create a perfectly functional version of Pong with javascript by just describing in text what I wanted it to do, and adjusting it for about one hour. But when I wanted to create a standard bubble shooter game, that was downright impossible. For every little thing Copilot fixed, it created a new problem. It just doesn't understand how to analyse code with any kind of overview.

So the state of being impressed only lasted a few days. Yes, it can write basic code templates and save you a few hours for those, and it can find problems in your code related to basics like misreferencing or spelling mistakes not found by the debugger, but anything beyond that it just can't do.

AI just removed the very lowest kind of boring tasks. Same for writing texts, because it can generate filler texts or search in text, create summaries and so on. But that's the only place it exceeds: mechanically reading text to looks for specific things, or suggesting standard solutions to common problems.
