The emergence of AI is one thing and the utilization of AI is another.

Most people utilize AI the wrong way, and to an extent this is because they believe that the future, AGI is the current phase of AI meanwhile AGI is yet to come.
AI are basically models which are trained on internet data but AGI will be able to reinforce itself, hence, the data which which would be given to newer models can be used to create more information when prompted.
Hence, all hope isn't lost just yet and when people say there is a short window for money to be made I solely believe this is true but many need to understand that this mean intellect capital would still be useful for now which should be a form a leverage to stay afloat despite the chaos.
