It's not an issue, it's an optimization problem. I look at this as an exponential. Before chat gpt was launched a bit over a year ago, the amount of AI in our lives was relatively low. We had bits and pieces here and there but everyday life wasn't really affected by it. At best you might be yelling at siri or alexa to do whatever and maybe getting some OKish results.
Fast forward 1 year. We now have students revolutionizing education (by submitting AI doctored papers and homework that isn't half bad). People in law dealing with people using AI. AIs passing medical, legal, and other exams. That was just one year. And yes, it's tediously slow to use. But last year we had nothing.
It's going to be an exponential in terms of adoption, response speed, energy usage, parameter numbers, context size and a lot of optimization. I think we are not that far off from AIs being able to keep up with a conversation and being able to respond right away. For all you hitchhiker's to the galaxy readers, that would be babelfish sorted. Translation quality is already pretty awesome with chat gpt 4. I've not caught it making major translation mistakes. Speech to text, translate the text, text to speech. Now we are conversing with our chat bots rather than hammering out sentences in some text box.
It's hard to not see that go from a novelty "oh this is cool" to world + dog basically using this on a daily basis throughout the day. At the same time it will get smarter. Everybody is waiting for the singularity where it is clearly smarter than Einstein in his prime and running circles around everyone else. But for most questions you might ask chat gpt and get a reasonable answer, the vast majority of people around you might be pretty useless. Is that smarter? I don't know. But definitely more useful.
From where we are now to this being ubiquitous and used by pretty much anyone is probably a few years. I remember when smart phones happened. One day everybody was minding their own business and a year later the streets were full of zombies glued to their screen. Just happened very quickly. This might be the same but possibly quicker.
