You can't have experience with the future systems. People have the right to be hyped, they are hyped for slightly wrong reasons but no matter. The significance of image and video generation is not that artists get the boot but it's that it's the computer vision problem in reverse. In roundabout way we've proved that computers and robots can now understand what they see. And that's the intelligence explosion.

Not "completely".

I work in tech, and specifically in Marketing Tech, and I can assure you that we are already seeing a massive shift and a proliferation of tools that are already delivering value to companies, especially small companies or one-person-teams.

As someone wrote on LinkedIn "individuals have never been able to produce so much by themselves thanks to generative AI" and it's so true. It's already shifting consumer behaviour, and we're barely at the beginning of commercially available AI tools.

So, yes. While the buzz around GPT as a proto-AGI or ASI is completely BS, the fact that current AI tools are already massively impacting certain sectors is undeniable.
