The lay misconception and wrongly attributed revolutions, discoveries, inventions is so common it has a name - Stigler’s law of eponymy.

You confound the AI product with the AI revolution.

You confound my point with some other of your own misreading.

To repeat: The claim of the article is clearly incorrect. It's precisely the AGI "fantasists" that have engineered the incredible technological landscape we now live in.

If you disagree, it would be useful to frame your argument in a clearer and less condescending fashion.
