Things are already changing for early adopters. Yesterday, I used a PDF GPT to review an 80+ page contract and GPT4 to explain specific parts of it in depth using layman's terms. I could have hired a lawyer like I have done in the past but that itself is a slow, laborious process and I often feel like my questions don't get thoroughly answered. I feel very confident of my understanding of the contract now. I also used StableDiffusion to mock-up landscaping designs for our back patio and make ceramic art ideas for my wife last month. I was finally able to use super resolution to improve the quality of an old video CD of a VHS tape of a theater play my dad starred in with his friends in the 80s. I tried without super resolution many times in the past but it was never good enough. You are right that it will take a few years before it hits but AI in 2023 is not hype if you know which tool to use when.

When we use it to solve real problems, make some real progress on climate change, then it will be something else from hype and it will be the year of AI. When you as an individual use it to sort PDFs or something it’s really hype.

  AI isn't going to magically solve the issue of climate change. That's going to require global coordinated effort. In fact, I would say thinking that AI is going to solve 'real' issues like that, is more 'hype' than the above commenter.

    Could make breakthroughs on fusion, through materials research or something else, and it has shown some results on fusion confinement control systems: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-04301-9 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-04301-9
