Yeah but if Jen’s work does not change, then where is the revolution? All previous revolutions moved Jen around, from the fields to the assembly line, then from the assembly line to the office, then from the office to a computer and arguably home.
How does Jen using Excel and using an LLM to calculate something in the books a “revolution”? And where is it happening then? Whose work has gotten “revolutionized”? What is actually going to happen if it hasn’t already? Like precisely?
And yeah, cost per token is dropping, but since all progress in the past year at least has increased tokens per query, cost per query is actually going up. And we can’t even be sure that the actual cost per token is going down, since OpenAI can set any price at this point, since it is losing money either way. We don’t know the cost per token, only the price per token.
Again, how is this different to the invention of the microwave? What makes it “revolution”-scaled, other than the money sunk into it?
Jen from accounts will not know she’s using an LLM. This is the part you don’t get.
Also the cost per token is dropping. Just like any technology, it’s being optimised.
