"I really wish we could get over conflating AI and GenAI. They are very different beasts and we should not attempt to tackle both with one approach" <-- yes yes yes. But AI has always been conflated with whatever the coolest subset of AI is at the time, so I'm not going to hold my breath on that one. Still, we as an industry need to understand that GenAI is (generally, and for most users) not about data.
As a species, we do tend to repeat the same patterns of not quite getting it over and over again. Perhaps there is a fundamental truth there for us to mine.
