I think Steve Jobs' quote sums this up beautifully:
"This is a field where one does not write a Principia which holds up for 200 years. This is not a field where one paints a painting that'll be looked at for centuries, or builds a church that will be admired and looked at in astonishment for centuries.
No, this is a field where one does one's work and in 10 years it's obsolete..."
And it's even harsher for AI where we're witnessing the release of a new model every hour these days
