We have been hearing this for a decade, that's why we are sick of hearing it again. Just do the fundamental shifts already.
But that's not true. What we have been seeing was attempts that looked marginally useful. Helpdesk chats that were only able to handle simplest problems and would respond with something stupid more often than not. Things that did not really look threatening to actual people doing their jobs well.
What I saw recently, on the other hand, is something that can actually perform useful, novel work and that can actually replace some marginally productive people. And this is very important difference.
