Github Copilot is shockingly good, I'm much more productive with it.

I also frequently use GPT to review emails or co-write content, with pretty great results. Takes me minutes instead of hours.

What sort of "groundbreaking" did you expect?

What is most interesting about LLMs to me is the vastly different experiences people are having with them.

Personally, I can't understand how someone who has spent time with chatGPT4 can say that as a blanket statement.

On the other hand, if you are viewing things from the perspective of creating a mass market product, I would agree. I am not sure there is going to be a product beyond the scale of the chat interface to the models. Everything will be very niche and customized if the chat interface is not the best use case. How that plays out is what I think will be groundbreaking.

Fiction writing.

It'll eventually be useful in games when the model sizes come down, but the novelty of being able to talk every NPC into abandoning their scripted goals and starting a family with you and living together in marital bliss until the HDOTU will wear off quickly.

The scary part will be when NPCs are pre-emptively directed by the developer/hypervisor to say and do anything to keep you engaged in every way possible, adapting to your behavior like a meth-dispensing slot machine that broadcasts pornography while you sleep.

For the sake of both fun and bandwidth, we'll have to move back to scripted dialogue and behavior.

I'm sure it can be done but combining 'groundbreaking' with 'use case' is difficult for me to achieve. "What's the use case you have for something new?" "This is something that hasn't been done before, here's how we use it", etc.

Can you please define groundbreaking?
