Eh, I do think it's possible for it to fizzle out. People freak out over ChatGPT but I haven't had great experiences with it and question exactly what sort of job it can reliably automate out. Fundamentally it's just a quicker way of querying the internet but with a loss in accuracy. There's the argument that the technology will improve and become exponentially greater - which is certainly possible - but there's also the possiblity of it just being overblown hype.

    I think that we forget all of the uses that AI has outside LLMs. Medical is a huge one. Our lives are already being improved by advances in AI in the medical field.

    That's true, and a very nice application of the technology. But as I understand that's more for making drug research more efficient and not directly replacing doctors or anything.
