I was attempting to give an example to say that AI-LLM technology is more than "fancy search" which to me sounds like "search engine". / I realize now that ChatGPT was released in late 2022, more than 3 years ago. Time flies.

> But it feels somewhat hype-y to say that goal posts are being moved "monthly"...

Here's what I mean. What you see if you kept a journal once a day and wrote down:

1. what impressed you about AI that day;

2. what did you do with it that day that you pretty much took for granted ("just SoTA")

Then compare today against 30 days ago. A lot changes! My point is that it is getting harder to impress us: our standard for what we expect seems to be changing significantly on a ~monthly basis. What does this rate of change where you "just expect something to work as table stakes" feel like to you? Certainly faster than annually, right? 6 months? 3? 2? 1?

For me, a lot of this isn't just the raw technology but also socialization of what the tools can do and the personal experience of doing it yourself.
