Ah yes, a chat bot that is consistently failing to do such advanced tasks as counting letters in words is definitely life-changing, right next to the metaverse and NFTs.

Pointing out this one error is reductive and greatly simplifies the profound effect that LLMs (and research around them) are having across a wide range of industries, unlike the metaverse and NFTs.
Does that effect exist outside of press releases and stock price manipulation?
Metaverse is changing the world. Just as you could see in this presentation - Data centers are first being built as digital twins in Omniverse and later in real world.

It is a profound change, but it will take time for significant number of digital twins being build. However digital twin is a CAPEX in a way. You build 3D model of your warehouse only once and then use it for years to manage operations, robots and everything else.
