Can I ask what industries with what application? I've seen lots of task like summarizing articles or producing text. The image and video work seems too rudimentary to be taken seriously.

Is there something out there that seems like a killer application?

I was amazed at the idea of the block chain but we never found a use for it outside of cryptocurrency. I see a similariy with AI hype.

Well front page of HN right now is an article about how AI aided in the development of a new antibiotic

Seems like Microsoft Excel is likely the single most important development in human history under this rubric.

It wasn't LLM. It was a graph network.

For me, thinking about it as a search engine on steroids is enough.

The internet has changed the world. Economically, socially, technologically, psychologically, pretty much everything is now related to it in one or other way, in this sense the internet is comparable to books.

AI is another step in that direction. There is a very real possibility that the day will come when you can get, say, personalized expert nutrition advice. Personalized learning regimes. Psychological assistance. Financial advice. Instantly at no cost. This, very much like the internet, would change society altogether.

It kind of sucks ass at being a search engine though considering how often it straight up lies or makes things up.
