So for a guy with no coding experience I was able to create a pretty cool webapp. +1 AI there.

You're shi**ing me, dude this is an awesome idea! I'm totally sending this to my buddy who has way too much time and money on his hands; he'll be all over it.
To me your experience outlines something I've seen a lot in my own stuff, but I think it's also a factor in everything else... it's usually just one or two things blocking, but it feels like a massive, insurmountable issue. I've had more than one instance where I'm totally stuck, then a model upgrade come down the pipe a week later and everything falls into place. I've had multiple "I guess AI isn't quite there yet for this" moments followed by a solution within a week.
The democratization of this is strange. I was listening to a podcast with Demis Hassabis (one of those 500 godfathers we have) who was saying as a science guy, he kinda wished it remained in-house and was used only for science. At the same time, he acknowledged it's cool that the public gets to come along for the ride this way. We get to see the rapid advances and play with the breakthrough moments.
It's such a surreal thing to have 10-15 little tools that you've created sitting on standby, and every 3 weeks they simply work better because of an update.
