It's been almost half a year since we got powerful enough models, and I'm wondering, where are all those great things that were created with them? Maybe it's just me, but nothing has changed in my life so far. No improvements, but definitely, I need to be more careful when reading, listening, watching, and using things, as bad quality slowly creeps everywhere.

  Most big companies are performance theaters see token maxxing as one prominent example.
  But go and talk to small companies. What they are able to pull off is just incredible. More features in shorter time. Improved UX and client satisfaction.
  On a society level 6 months is nothing. This will take about 10 years to penetrate all organizations I assume.

    Do people need this "more features in a shorter time"? I can say that, for me, I stopped reading changelogs because some software that I use started to update too often. If there are any new features that were added, I probably won't notice them.
    And I remember times when people got angry at companies for "improving their UX" and breaking the daily routines of their users.
