Very little time.
ML has been creating meaningful results since the 1960s.

It is a strong indication that nothing useful will come out from the remaining 20%, which is probably wishful thinkers.
But then again, hope is not proof, lines of code is not a product, hours spent tinkering is not quality, big ideas is not real world impact.
Right now, and for the past 10 years, this space has been a lot less useful than what came out from imagining FTL travel or colonizing Mars.
But costed nearly as much (actually, more: going to Mars costs around ~2.7 billions, while This year, more than $3.8B has been poured into startups in the Web3 space)
If I believed in conspiracies I would say that the criminal cartels of the World have found the perfect tool to wash their dirty money. It works much better than pumping art.
