I personally don't see AI getting anywhere any time soon

Totally, like there's no way an AI company could hit $80M revenue in <2 years [0], or power the recommendations systems for billions of dollars worth of online commerce.

Also there's no way that it could generate audio/image/video/text that would trick the average person that this was generated by an AI.

These are all examples of scaling and miniaturization. It's impressive to be sure but nothing that wasn't already done. Fundamentally we're still running mostly the same algorithms and have been spending the last however many years optimizing and scaling in various areas from hardware to labelling and automation.

That's why "lol it's just spreadsheets and if-statements," is kind of funny: there's a grain of truth to it.
