I still don't understand how it's world-changing apart from considerably degrading the internet. It's laughable to compare it to railroads.

Translation is big thing, maybe not the same scale as railroads, but still important. The rest is of dubious economic utility (as in you can do it with LLM easier than without, but if you think a little you could just as well not do it at all without losing anything). On the other hand, disrupting signalling will have pretty long-lasting consequences. People used to assume that a long formal-sounding text is a signal of seriousness, certainly so if it's personally addressed. Now it's just a sign of sloppiness. School essays are probably dead as a genre (good riddance). Hell, maybe even some edgy censorable language will enter mainstream as a definite proof of non-LLMness - and stay.

Did you try asking chatgpt to explain?

When it gets a bit better two robots can make four robots and so on to infinity.
