Incremental AI

For every AI skeptic and alarmist, there are ten AI dreamers convinced AI will change civilization. In the business world, this fuels high valuations and premature optimization through layoffs or sweeping business changes.

For instance, improving campaign planning and copywriting helps Amazon and sellers. But if the product still sucks or is overpriced, who cares? Getting a mini-grill delivered on time for the weekend camping trip is nice - but not the singularity.
