There certainly is a group of people who believe in AI strongly. One part of them is just listening to the hype and jumpping on the wagon. Another part however is investing real time to understand it. They work to give it structure and guardrails so that it does what they want it to. And they help others do the same. But currently it still takes a lot of time investment to get good at using. And most people aren’t expecting that.
But as the second group grows, and the methods for them to share the structure they have set up for AI mature, more people will be anle to use it without all the upfront time investment. That is when the pressure on tool vendors to improve their api interfaces will really heat up. AI compliant or whatever buzz word shows up will be a near requirment for a tool to get investor dollars. MCPs were an attempt to put a layer between the apis and the AI. But if the underlieing api sucks, MCP can’t do much. I am not sure what will come next, but something more about the apis themselves is bound to spring up. Maybe even several standards. Thats ok, there can be several because AI can handle the context switching better than humans can.
