I also think that LLMs are overrated. I also think that it will not be any single AI thing that will change everything but the cumulative effect of a lot of small incremental things converging.If you look at the development of the interenet back in the nineties. It was built on stuff that was already there and deployed. TCP/IP packet switching, DNS services, email protocols, the desktop pc, computerised spreadsheets, HTML. Add in global banking services, the concept of "Just in Time" supply chains and globalisation took off. LLMs allow conversational interfacing to computer systems and can be used for good or bad and it is very visible to the ordinary person but behind the scenes are a lot of other stuff that is game changing in data science, robotics, automated manufacturing and so on. There are also developments in materials science, medicine, microbiology and probably elsewhere that I do not know about.There is a lot of stuff in the works in traditional science and engineering that could stand society on it head. If AI was never a thing it might happen over the next 100 to 200 years. If the AI hypersters are correct it could be compressed into 5 to 10 years.I think in many respects the avalanche has started but we can still change what our society prioritises and whose interest are served.</blockquote>
