As an outsider, I can talk to AI and get more coherent responses than from humans (flawed, but it's getting better). That's tangible, that's an improvement. I for one don't even consider the Internet to be as revolutionary as the steam engine or freight trains. But AI is actually modifying my own life already - and that's far from the end.

P.S. I've just created this account here on Hacker News because Altman is one of the talking heads I've been listening to. Not too sure what to make of this. I'm an accelerationist, so my biggest fear is America stifling its research the same way it buried space exploration and human gene editing in the past. All hope is for China - but then again, the CCP might be even more fearful of non-human entities than the West. Stormy times indeed.
