Kind of peculiar and memorable story for me. I was on the couch on my Nintendo Switch, playing around with ChatGPT 3 and asked it where to find a specific item in Zelda Breath of the Wild. When it provided a coherent answer I was just dumbfounded. To be fair, the answer was semi-hallucinated but partly true. But it made me realize what kind of breakthrough it must be for some program to provide an answer to this with…
How is that result any different than what you would have done without AI, which is likely a search for the item name which would have given you a wiki about it and videos on how to get it? Why were you amazed at what, on any other day, is a common query? Really just that it was offline?
Like endymi0n said, for me it was just about the amazement of how qualitatively different this technology was than anything we had before. Not in a functional sense of how it provides an output to anything. That was probably when I used it to spin up an app via Terraform in days despite having not much prior knowledge of infrastructure. Digging through Stackoverflow would have took at least 10 times more time.
