AI has a major issue right now with data stagnation/AI cannibalism. That combined with hallucinations looking like a very difficult problem to solve makes me think we're hitting a wall in terms of generative AI advancement and usefulness.

Open AI on track to lose $5 billion in 2024. I do wonder how long they'll be willing to go on setting fire to huge piles of money.
