Summary

Evan explores the underwhelming impact of AI thus far, despite advancements like GPT-4 and massive funding injections.

To truly transform workflows, AI needs to move beyond enhancing existing software to automating entire processes or rendering them obsolete. The 'button-ification' of AI underscores that we're still in the training wheels phase, having reduced a potentially transformative technology to a feature within our current workflows.
