There are so many tasks in the world that

1. Involve a computer

2. Do not require incredible intelligence

3. Involve the messiness of the real world enough that you can't write exact code to do it without it being insanely fragile

LLMs suddenly start to tackle these, and tackle them kind of all at once. Additionally they are "programmed" in just English and so you don't need a specialist to do something like change the tone of the summary or format, you just write what you want.

Assuming the models never get any smarter or even cheaper, and all we get is neater integrations, I still think this is all huge.
