Wow. I am astounded by this inability to think in perspective.
"This technology is already 2 years old, I don't see any societal changes yet, it must be much ado about nothing" must be one of the most superficial takes about technology I've ever read. Really, come on.
Just two things to consider:
1- it takes people and societies a long time to integrate and react to the possibilities offered by new technologies. A time easily measured in years, sometimes in decades.
2- the technology is rapidly evolving- faster than society is actually able to absorb it. Two years are really nothing. A child who was born the day GPT 2 was released has just started primary school, and will enter the job market between 15 and 20 years from today.
