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 mind blowing. At least 1-2x/week I find myself shocked that this is the reality we live in

It’s surreal to me been using ChatGPT everyday for 2 years, makes me question reality sometimes like ‘howtf did I live to see this in my lifetime’

I’m only 39, really thought this was something reserved for the news on my hospital tv deathbed.

Ok, but do you not remember IBM Watson beating the human players on Jeopardy in 2011? The current NLP based neural networks termed AI isn't so incredibly new. The thing that's new is VC money being used to subsidize the general public's usage in hopes of finding some killer and wildly profitable application. Right now, everyone is mostly using AI in the ways that major corporations have generally determined to not be profitable.

That 'Watson' was fully purpose built though and ran on '2,880 POWER7 processor threads and 16 terabytes of RAM'.

'Watson' was amazing branding that they managed to push with this publicity stunt, but nothing generally useful came out of it as far as I know.

(I've worked with 'Watson' products in the past and any implementation took a lot of manual effort.)
