Right, that's my interpretation as well.

"AI" companies have reached the end of the road when it comes to throwing more data and compute at the problem. The only way now for charts to go up and to the right is to deliver value-added services.

And, to be fair, there's a potentially long and profitable road by doing good engineering work that was needed anyways.

But it should be obvious to anyone within this bubble that this is not the road to "superintelligence" or "AGI". I hope that the hype and false advertising stops soon, so that we can focus on practical applications of this technology, which are numerous.
