 The term "AI" is misleading and annoying.
Imo, LLMs unfuck two main things: interfaces and search. 
1) Interfaces: we go from 'forms' type interfaces to chat/voice as our way of dealing with computers. Huge, barely scratching the surface of what this will change. 
2) Search: we go from pagerank indexing to deep learning over tokens. Google already ded. Any text is searchable, queryable. 

None of this makes an artificial mind. I doubt proper AI will come from LLMs personally, but we have enough breakthroughs here to reinvent large parts of our relationship with machines and data, and thats enough for me 🤙

 Its crazy that limited to screens, tech has had a huge impact already. Imagine what itll be like when we onboard that 80% of the workforce that doesnt sit at a desk  
 I think screens will be around for a long time, its  the keyboard and mouse that will soon be archaic. exciting times indeed. 
 I am also skeptical that general intelligence is around the corner. But we (humanity) have definitely unlocked the next stepping stone. Stoked to use these new tools to level up my own capabilities. 🤙
