How is life qualitatively or quantitatively better now that we have access to these things? What were we all going without, for our entire lives, that is a noticeable net improvement, and that isn't swallowed up by increased demand and noise?
It's one thing to make up rubrics and say that the models are scoring ever higher on them, while "the graph goes up and to the right". But on a practical level, what was so wrong or unbearable with the world before that introducing an LLM would revolutionize for the better? What software was so broken, or what process was so inaccessible, that the raw computational approach became the best solution? I'm actually open to hearing about this.
