How fast is AI really moving right now? What do you think the next few years look like?

I know people say AI is moving fast, but lately it feels like it’s moving *so* fast that it's hard to even keep up.

Every couple of weeks, there’s a new model, a new startup, a new workflow, a new “everything has changed” moment. I work in operations, not tech, and even from the outside it feels like we’re already in the middle of a big shift.

What I can’t work out is whether we’re still early… or whether the biggest changes are about to hit all at once over the next few years.

When people here think about the next 1–5 years, what do you actually expect?

- Better assistants and agents?

- Big job disruption?

- AI becoming built into basically every app?

- Regulation slowing things down?

- More hype than real change?

- Massive improvements in robotics too?

I’d love grounded opinions, not just “AI will change everything.”\

What changes do you think are *most likely* in the short term, for normal people, businesses, and creative work?

Trying to build a realistic picture of where this is heading.

Cheers,
