It sounds like one should be building deliberate AI workflows with extra checks (automated or human in the loop) that make careful and cost efficient incremental progress toward a measurable goal.
Sounds like hard work... when we could just build 1,000,000 MCP servers instead. (raises pinkie to corner of mouth)
Much of the hype around AI is based on the hope that we will no longer need to organize our own thoughts, express our own perspective, or understand the details or our own lives. These people want some hyper generalized, disembodied 'intelligence' to do everything for them ... it's no wonder that that they produce little more than hot air.
