... 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.

Most of us aren't playing with multi-modal models yet. Text can describe any world, but when it starts coming AI watching live video feeds for learning, can it base itself in reality with that?
