if its not obvious yet, these ai models work very similarly to our brains, eyes and ears. llms process ingests words and spit out words. multi modal llms do the same with video, images and sound.

in the same way we ingest information to understand the world around us, progress up a career ladder, form relationships with humans around us - ai models are on a path to do the same and eventually a LOT better than us.

some look at this pessimistically, "we're killing our brains" but i choose to believe that if applied correctly, as a learning tool, ai is the ultimate symbiotic technology to ever progress the human race.

its fluid enough to apply to any problem or task. its unlimited in quantity so you can keep going at the problem day and night until its solved. its duplicative so you can run a million different scenarios to hone in on the right answer.

there will be a near unlimited demand for this stuff and that is both scary and inspiring.
