This question is totally baffling to me. Have you used these tools? The capabilities are astounding and dreamlike (and also a nightmare). I was born in the early 80s. There are only 2 other techno-socio moments in my life that have hit as hard: (1) the web around 1994, and (2) the smartphone. The appearance of the current iteration of generative AI for public consumption in the last few months dwarfs both. My own daily working patterns, expectations for my future, for my children's desirable skillsets have been entirely shifted. The entire value of generating information has been totally upended. If it can be created by AI -- and it's looking like most information-based things can/will be soon -- then humans now have a very different position in the world. Why I need to list any specifics at this point is beyond me. This is going to spread through the world like a fire.
