It's a testament to how quickly humans can set a new baseline at their circumstances. I try to remember to say "WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE" at least a few times a day when using GPT and MidJourney, but it's much easier to be irritated that ChatGPT lost the context of the code it was helping me write than to be blown away that I can just casually use one of the greatest technical achievements in the history of mankind while I'm sitting here in my underwear.

... is doing a lot of work here.
This is why expectations are exceeding reality. That said, the reality of these generative AIs is pretty damn impressive. I just wouldn't put it up against computers, cars, planes, boats, nuclear energy, medicine, chemistry or any of the other technological advances that did change the world. Not until the grounding problem is solved. After that, maybe.

The first car didn’t change the world, nor did the first plane, etc. At least not directly.
But they did pave the way for the examples that did change the world.
No different here. Generative AI will change the world. Doesn’t mean these models will in and of themselves.
