## AI overview

This opinion article argues that a possible AI bubble collapse would not invalidate AI's technological achievements. It says LLMs can perform impressive tasks but are often wrong and not yet broadly useful for business, while other AI applications have produced notable results in translation, transcription, and image analysis.

## Source excerpt

An essential part of being able to say 'I told you so' is in fact having told you so. Here goes. In April 2023, I wrote an article titled AI: Guaranteed to disrupt our economies. In this piece I also announced I was going to make a fool of myself by making some AI predictions. I have singularly failed to do so. In retrospect this was all spot on, except for perhaps missing the sheer magnitude of the madness that was about to ensue.
