I absolutely hate the Elon hypetrain, but I also don't understand the social media hate I see for AI, like comparing every ChatGPT answer to one wasted bottle of water.
Can we stop for a second and just marvel at a new piece of human ingenuity? Let's not give Elon too much credit, but I think that AI as a whole helps us all understand the nature of intelligence, and therefore humans' place in the universe.
One of the fundamental questions of human existence is: what does it mean to exist and think? Every time we build a new human-like thing it helps us understand the context of our own existence. (Not just computers or AI, but also airplanes, factories, etc.)
True AGI would force us to rethink what it means to be a thinking human being, and I think current LLMs already should and do.
