    Yes it’s going to transform everything. It’s about the same as the transformation from typewriter to computer for society. But I still don’t think any machine that predicts the next word is intelligent. However, this is only the beginning. We are not going to be able to keep up with AI soon, and it will work around the clock to get better and better.

    We will have those high tech societies from the movies where robots are everywhere and people are quite sad.

      You say that however we might have stumbled on the groundwork for a GI. Because language is core to our evolutionary advancement. We needed language to build the mental constructs that then enabled logical work.

      Imagine if an LLM was able to coordinate the usage of these “logical” AI’s like Deep mind etc.

      ChatGPT already enabled Internet search and it’s better than if I asked someone to Google something for me.
