If delivering on such promises "always" occurs 6-12 months after the promise, is that pretty good?

Again, the promise isn't _always_ delivered, people just more often focus on when the particular result aligns with their view. When it is though, it's all too commonly 6-12 months later. Which is nice but a bit annoying - why not wait 6-12 months and claim when you can actually show it? Or just say that's where it might be soon instead of talking like it is now.

I generally like AI and use it plenty often, it does many things well and I'm curious to see how far it keeps going, but that doesn't mean I have to like overhyped marketing about it.
