AI, as we know it today (GPT3), came out not even 4 years ago. Of course, you’re not going to see a movie or book yet (especially since it was nowhere near today when it came out). I feel like people forget this.

This reads like Clifford Stoll’s “the Internet will never really matter” article - and the internet was already 40 years old and the web server was already older than ChatGPT is today. Your post sounds a bit like this sentence: “ The truth is no online database will replace your daily newspaper, no CD-ROM can take the place of a competent teacher and no computer network will change the way government works.”

Where was the TV in 4 years? Facebook? The telephone?

I don’t know if you are correct, but the bar of “cultural artifact” created from a system that just barely came to be and who’s capabilities wouldn’t even be close to this until like 3 months ago, is just a really really early thing to make a decision on already.
