My impression of chatgpt so far is that it's good at replicating existing human behavior, but bad at doing anything out-of-sample. It anchors quickly onto patterns that have been done by many people before, but there's definitely something that we call "original thinking" that it's not doing at all.

💯it seems unable to do new things

seems underwhelming at first, but is the current day equivalent of the flying shuttle or spinning jenny in that it reduces human schlep

this is a big deal, just as it was in the industrial revolution

and makes me think calling it LLM vs AI would reduce headwinds

💯what i see makes me optimistic. people had similar fears during the industrial revolution and in every prior technological revolution

there's a temptation to think 'this time it's different.' in the end though, the world is better for the change on almost every measure

Yeah I'm happy it's turning out this way. It means we get a longer period between AI making the world weird and literal singularity or paperclip situations.
