Much of the hype is focused on functional limitations, where the real payoff is speed.
We can now do some basic - and increasingly more advanced - things much much faster.
For experienced programmers, this isn’t new. It’s a cycle that began with compilers and most recently hit with containerization and cloud computing.
But the public discourse isn’t based around the reality, it’s based around a projected future.
For those with experience, the projected future is a combination of sci-fi and back of the envelope estimates.
