    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.

      You will have to wait great amount of time for great things just as you did before.

      LLMs are not AGI, if so they are not foundational technology, if so we can't really built upon them - we can just use their wrappers as productivity tool, if so we will be bottleneck by what we were bottlenecked before: corporate bureaucracy, slow physical world innovation pipeline, supply chains, just a small number of actual problem solvers/risk takers around, etc.

      There will be of course a lot of attach LLM wrapper and improve productivity here / there underwhelming weak fart products, ex: Meta Muse.
