I feel we have been given a very valuable tool. I think the most sublte aspect for personal use is the freedom from having to ask seemingly stupid questions. It turns out there are a lot of interesting things on this earth. While a good education can prepare you for a lot, nobody knows everything. Asking seemingly stupid questions can be an issue for some. I have tried to cultivate this ability during my lifetime, and have practiced it with people I know are knowledgable in a specific field. But even with that, I catch myself feeling liberated to be able to "privately" ask questions that come to my mind in a more specific way then just firing up a Google search. A search is always more involved. True, I have to be on a different sort of guard when asking an LLM for an explanation for something, but it feels like very useful and time-saving for the quick introduction to something you just happened to think about.
