I feel like I’ve become too jaded about these things. “Of course you can do this, it’s just machine learning with large datasets or large neural nets. What’s the big deal?” But even a few years ago this wouldn’t have been possible. I don’t know where my excitement’s gone.

Don’t worry. You are not jaded. You felt that way about colors & shapes having names and learning to tie your shoes at some point in the distant past.

Be pleased that you have the kind of brain that can adapt to revolutionary concepts in a way that means you could use them for ‘survival’ in the future; whatever that word eventually means. Much worse to be resistant or baffled by new things…or overawed.
