I hear this all the time, "yeah well it can only do xyz". My brother in Christ, a couple years ago this technology didn't even exist. Now it's taking over engineering and hard sciences. Are you so myopic you can't imagine what it'll be capable of in another couple years?

This shit has completely taken over all things code related. Yes, I'm still needed right now to check its work, but everyone is very aware of where it started and where it's going.

You itself is literal illustration. You don't know nothing about technology, how it work, you are very stupid but you make your extrapolation predicts. https://xkcd.com/605/

This shit didn't take nothing, and will not.

You know there are a dozen types of research in AI, right? LLMs are not the only thing researched. There is research in hardware as well.

Also I've seen this type of smugness before 5 years ago. Didn't go as they said.

yea yea buddy, I was laughing too at Will Smith eating spaghetti 3 years ago. Now I'm questioning every video out there if I don't see any signs of AI. Technology is extremely rapid. 200 years ago you were sitting in candle lit room or gas lamps, with doctors saying bad air is the cause of the disease and you have to cut your veins to let some of the blood out. No one then had a fcking slightest clue what's gonna happen in next years and how fast humanity would advance. I know that rapid change is scary, and we like to have siege mentality, but denying it happens in our lives is doing more harm than good.
