I think that generative AI is a much bigger deal than the internet and maybe even the Industrial Revolution. The internet mainly sped up existing processes and made them accessible to everyone. We’ve had mail order for over a century, transatlantic communication through the telegraph and radio, and the printing press.

If the Industrial Revolution was so impactful because it boosted human productivity, then the ability to spawn hundreds, even thousands, of intelligent 'humans' at will must be an even bigger deal.

I'm not that impressed until one of those "intelligent humans" can make me a sandwich and deliver it to me. Gen AI's productivity boosting capabilities are seriously limited outside office work, and even there it can't be trusted to perform totally autonomously. It's a big deal, but not a revolution.

Now, if combine robotics with Gen AI and some other solutions to form true AGI that can do both tasks in physical world and virtual, then things will get more interesting.
