> OpenAI revolutionized… rewriting things with slightly different wording? Yes, if you try hard enough, you can try to cast transformational shifts as trifling. - e.g. “Barteen, Shockley , and Brittain made a smaller version of the vacuum tube.” (transistors) - “Scientists discovered that light could carry information, like electrical wires do.” (fiber-optics) The effects (including the harder to measure cultural shifts) matter more than some uncharitable characterization. Also, the “it is not X” thinking is the result of present fixation. Such argumentation is, at best, quite narrow. Perhaps applicable in specific defined markets and situations but hardly a good mindset for making sense of how the world is changing. Hence the cliché, “The Stone Age didn’t end because we ran out of stone.” The psychological undertones in the comment above are probably “people, stop exaggerating”. From one overreaction to another, it seems.
