In the early days of television -- late 40s and very early 50s -- TV shows were pretty much just like radio shows, just with video. Dramas, games, news. It was popular because, wow, the technology. But nobody had figured out yet what TV could deliver that radio could not, and which would change the game.
CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow figured it out with his team. He had crews set up one camera to show the Atlantic Ocean, and another to show the Pacific Ocean, in real time. Then on his program _See It Now,_ he showed America both coasts at the same time. _Nobody had ever done anything like this before._ It was an astonishing moment, and it changed television forever.
This was the transforming idea that elevated television into what it became.
We haven't had the transforming idea in AI yet. Until we do, we'll be in the trough of disillusionment.

Couldn't agree more! AI is a platform for value creation, not value itself.
As we figure out how to leverage this tool more effectively, things are going to change FAST!
