I agree with you that the "amazing" part is the query understanding.

There are two really big things I'm excited about:

1. It really understands what I am asking. What my meaning is. Gpt-4 is way way better even than gpt-3.5 at this. This is something truly different that a computer has never been able to do and (hopefully) will only get better at it. This really truly changes everything in how we interact with computers. We shouldn't be downplaying this. This is real. Today. At the same time a lot of this turning "understanding" into useful output comes at a huge amount of work on the RLHF side so we shouldn't necessarily extrapolate into the future too much just based on the current progress of openai. It's still very difficult work.

2. Everyone is now paying attention to LLM's. When the world starts paying attention to things and engineers start hacking things together, big companies start pouring money into ai, maybe Google wakes up for once, students start choosing ai as their career field, etc etc - amazing things happen. AI just went from niche to something that everyone is using and thinking about.
