I am getting the sense that the 2nd deriative of the curve is already hitting negative teritory. models get updated, and I don't feel I'm getting better answers from the LLMs.

On the application front though, it feels that the advancements from a couple of years ago are just beginning to trickle down to product space. I used to do some video editing as a hobby. Recently I picked it up again, and was blown away by how much AI has chipped away the repetitive stuff, and even made attempts at the more creative aspects of production, with mixed but promising results.

What are some examples of tasks you no longer have to do?

one example is auto generating subtitles -- elements of this tasks, e.g. speech to text with time coding, have been around for a while (openai whisper and others), but they have only recently been integrated into video editors and become easy to use for non-coders. other examples: depth map (estimating object distance from the camera; this is useful when you want to blur the background), auto-generating masks with object tracking.
