    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.

      Maybe you are not looking in the right place. Maybe your expectations are not right. Maybe the revolution isn't a super app but a mini app. Not an app with code written so beautifully it could win a Pulitzer but an app that will be used a couple of times and then discarded.

      I am trying to offer an alternate viewpoint (I don't necessarily support it but I thought it was needed).

        This is almost by definition not revolutionary

          Neither is the non-professional photography market. The internet is full of poorly composed photographs taken by people with no skill in photography.
