Yeah maybe, but personally it feels more like a plateau to me than an exponential takeoff, at the moment.

And this isn't a pessimistic take! I love this period of time where the models themselves are unbelievably useful, and people are also focusing on the user experience of using those amazing models to do useful things. It's an exciting time!

But I'm still pretty skeptical of "these things are about to not require human operators in the loop at all!".
