One thing that I find truly amazing is just the simple fact that you can now be fuzzy with the input you give a computer, and get something meaningful in return. Like, as someone who grew up learning to code in the 90s it always seemed like science fiction that we'd get to a point where you could give a computer some vague human level instructions and get it more or less do what you want.

It's a radical change in human/computer interface. Now, for many applications, it is much better to present the user with a simple chat window and allow them to type natural language into it, rather than ask them to learn a complex UI. I want to be able to say "Delete all the screenshots on my Desktop", instead of going into a terminal and typing "rm ~/Desktop/*.png".

But why? It takes many more characters to type :)

Because with the above command your assistant will delete snapshot-01.png and snapshot-02.jpeg, and avoid deleting by mistake my-kids-birthday.png

Will it? With how they work I find it more likely to run a sudo rm -rf /* than anything else.
