Wharton professor and prominent AI commentator Ethan Mollick posted a self-deprecating tweet, saying he rarely posts such takes and feels people are taking him too seriously. In his earlier reply he noted that shipping is always another story: the iPhone took six months from demo to ship, the GUI took five years, and the Roadster also had a long road — using historical examples to push back on expectations about AI product delivery speed.
