   What do people get out of being so reductionist?

   Every time a new model comes out, people come out in droves "oh I don't notice anything different".

   People have been saying this about <currentModel-1> for 2 years now, and the entire state of AI has changed dramatically.

   It cannot be that the next AI model isn't better, but also suddenly what they are capable of is on an entirely different level.

      I suppose it's the reverse of Amara's law:

      "We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run"
