There is astonishing hype around Generative AI, generally, at the moment. Amazing advances in some respects, but more downside than upside. Commonsense and reasoning are the barriers, folks. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #GenerativeAI #GenAI

Your metaphor of generative #AI as the all-knowing bar patron was an unforgettable highlight.
