I just wanted to point something out. I hear people say the AI revolution is the biggest one since the industrial revolution. I think it's the biggest revolution since the one that just preceded us, the information (computer) age. So we're still going fairly in order revolution wise.

The biggest revolutions since the Industrial Revolution were probably trains first and everything related to electricity later. Telegraph, radio, lightning, TVs spanning over about one century. And advances in health care, agriculture. But it's hard to tell without having lived through all those changes.

Then computers of course, but not as impactful as the other ones. And cars and mobile phones (mobile dumbed down computers) have been more important than AI so far IMHO.
