At this point, I'm numb from all of the AI overhype. I was extremely excited about DALL-E and convinced myself that concrete fruits of the AI revolution were finally here... until a few seconds after I got the chance to try some queries myself. Ditto Copilot.

The recent progress on generative models is a major research achievement, to be sure. That said, I'm not sure what it means it "terraform society," but so far AI shows no signs of making the same magnitude of impact on society as, say, the S-tier technological advances of the 20th and early 21st centuries, such as the personal computer, Internet, smartphone, or atomic bomb. That all may change if we get AGI that actually works, of course.
