I asked Grok to describe a picture I took of me and my kid at Hilton Head island. Based on the plant life it guesses it was a southeast barrier island in Georgia or the Carolinas. It guessed my age and my son’s age. LLMs are completely insane tech for a 90s kid. The first fundamental advance in tech I’ve seen in my lifetime—like what it must’ve been like for people who used a telephone for the first time, or watched a television.
Flat TVs, digital audio players (the iPod), the smartphone, laptops, the smartwatches,... You have a very selective definition of advance in tech. Compare today (minus LLMs) with any movies depicting life in the nineties and you can see how much tech have developed.
