What a lot of folks are struggling to understand (myself included) is how this actually reflects on the quality of life?

You're more productive? Nice ... for you or your business/employer? Do you also get more free time out of it? With all this free time you could actually travel and do a language school for 3 months. That sounds like an improvement in quality of life to me. Not better translations in that language.

The life of my family (we have a good life) hasn't become significantly improved with LLMs. We still struggle with the same problems as before. These companies don't solve the big problems of societies and that's why I feel like their value is not justified.
