I think Amara's law applies: "We overestimate the impact of technology in the short-term and underestimate the effect in the long run."
The development of effective LLMs really feels like a tectonic shift. We're still in the process of working out where they're useful and where they aren't, but it's clear that the number of areas where LLMs are demonstrably useful is quite significant. And this stuff is developing at an explosive pace.
So most of our lives aren't likely to be immediately turned upside down by LLMs. But this stuff is likely to have some impact on all of us. If your livelihood depends on interpreting and producing information, you really ought to be paying attention to these developments.
