"I will be mocked as someone who “just doesn’t get it.”" That's because you don't. Your analysis is about like saying my 3 year old grandson doesn't perform like an adult. It's early days, but the enormous potential is obvious. The game changer is intelligent agents can learn. That's Moore's Law on steriods. Are people expecting too much too soon? Sure they are, but with time intelligent agents will transform our work, our lives, and our society. You're a "professional investor." You should understand the power of compounding.
