You asked for examples, and I gave you examples. I didn't claim AI revolution was around the corner, I just said I used them in these small ways that clearly will have big impacts in their respective areas.
My experience is in no way unique, and yes, I think it's just laziness or ignorance to think otherwise. Or in your case, a kind of zealous hostility as a reaction against hype.
I remind you that my initial comment said that yes, there are some aspects of AI that are definitely over-hyped, but that I have used the tools in ways that obviously seem to have huge economic impacts.
P.S. - if you were more familiar with AI image makers, you'd know that it's not difficult to make images that are indistinguishable from non-AI ones. But that's really not relevant here, because my point was that this new tool enabled me to create something that didn't exist before – not what your personal qualms were about AI images.
If the stick enables you carve more complex things in a cheaper way than the previous tool, then yes, the stick is special. Unless you’re suggesting that a pencil and the human finger are exactly the same?
This is quite literally the entire history of technology: what was once expensive becomes cheap and then unlocks new developments. Bizarre that I have to point this out when you’re likely reading this comment on a device made of commoditized components that cost a fraction of what they did a couple decades ago.

Yeah it does that, in 2-3 areas, those we need the least -- who cares it can replace artists? We need elder people care! We need automated logistics! And a tons of other things.
"It's just the beginning" yeah yeah, but it's not. It's actually the next AI plateau that the area will need a long time to move on from. Please do quote me on this, I am willing to apologize if I am wrong after 5-10 years.
