In a classically disruptive way, the internet provided an existing service (information exchange) in a way that was in many ways far less pleasant than existing channels (newspapers, libraries, phone). Remember that the early Internet was mostly text, very low resolution, un credentialed, flaky, expensive, and too technical for most people.
The only reason that we can have such nice things today like retina display screens and live video and secure payment processing is because the original Internet provided enough value without these things.
In my first and maybe only ever comment on this website defending AI, I do believe that in 30 or 40 years we might see this first wave of generative AI in a similar way to the early Internet.
