But at least at this moment in time, we find ourselves in a unique and unprecedented situation in the history of technology. If you go back through various sci-fi you’ll see that very few would have predicted that the AI revolution would feature this progression. It was supposed to be a top secret government megabrain project wielded by the generals, not ChatGPT appearing basically overnight and for free on a device already in everyone’s pocket. Remember that William Gibson quote “The future is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed”? Surprise - the future is already here, and it is shockingly distributed. Power to the people. Personally, I love it.
