Where are we headed with AI boom?

AI feels like a sudden revolution. It isn't.

Let's step back and look at the longer arc — from early AI research in the 1950s, through the breakthroughs and disappointments of the 70s–90s, to machine learning, deep learning, LLMs and today's reasoning models.

We'll explore what actually changed, why Generative AI feels different, and an important question:

Are we witnessing the early stages of Artificial General Intelligence — or simply a remarkably powerful new form of limited intelligence?

This isn't a technical deep dive or a prediction session. It's an attempt to build a useful mental model of where we are — and inspire you to be curious, challenge, and evolve to prepare for what may come next.
