Are you really implying that generative AI doesn't enable things that were not previously possible?

It's actually a fair question. There are software projects I wouldn't have taken on without an LLM. Not because I couldn't make it. But because of the time needed to create it.

I could have taken the time to do the math to figure out what the rewards structure is for my Wawa points and compare it to my car's fuel tank to discover I should strictly buy sandwiches and never gas.

People have been making nude celebrity photos for decades now with just Photoshop.

Some activities have gotten a speed up. But so far it was all possible before just possibly not feasible.

Name some then! I initially scoffed too but I can only think of stuff LLM’s make easier not things that were impossible previously.

		Isn't that the vast majority of products? By making things easier they change the scale it is accomplished at? Farming wasn't previously impossible before the tractor. People seemingly have some very odd views on products when it comes to AI.

> were not previously possible?

How obtuse. The poster is saying they don't enable anything of value.

Can you name one thing generative AI enables that wasn't previously possible?

		Can you name one thing a plow enables that wasn't previously possible? This line of thinking is ridiculous.

For the most part, it hasn't. What do you consider previously impossible, and how is it good for the world?
