AI bubble?

Wondering what everyone's take on AI is. I've been exploring its use in education. There's a lot of potential but I can't tell if it's genuinely transformative or just part of the AI bubble

As of right now I would consider it overvalued, ultimately the technology of the LLM as a system can only go so far because at the end of the day it is just mathematics and averages (although in the billions and complex just to create one output) and not representative of true and real intelligence. However its use cases are not totally explored and the LLM system still feels like it's in it's early-mid phases and has plenty of growth, especially paired with other tools. I say overvalued because those who don't understand current AI technology see its potential matching or rising above fluid human intelligence which I think the LLM is only a crude copy of (although significant in its data and breadth which is notable) and is therefore capped unless further radical innovation occurs. Will the bubble pop? I think its useful enough and will become more useful in the future, but I don't think the radical societal changes that investors are expecting are going to fully realize unless there is a radical innovation or further invention. I think change will still be disruptive though and returns will be satisfactory enough that rapid divesture isn't a concern.

I think it is potentially transformative but we have a long way to go before it reaches its potential. Because AI hallucinates (which means it makes stuff up) it can't be trusted in any area where accuracy is important. For me, accuracy is important in every area of my life and business so I therefore don't feel I can trust AI. That said, I can trust myself and my own specialist expertise, so AI can be an invaluable partner to me in the work I do. I never rely on AI to do something I don't understand or can't evaluate. But it can dramatically increase my output on things I do understand and can evaluate - e.g. my entire social media strategy is around AI - I read, analyse, research and collect my thoughts before using AI to help me organise them into content and refine that content for maximum impact. Because I know what good content looks like (I have 20 years in marketing) and because I know my subject matter I am able to do this to a high standard. Unfortunately too many people are outsourcing their thinking to AI and finding it's not working.
