A translator and editor would be nice? I use GPT to give feedback on my writing. It works well, especially suggesting other ways to word things. This is something I didn't even know I needed.
There are all kinds of other uses. It has offered advice to me on programming language design, approaches to math proofs, etc.
Again, I don't NEED these things, but yes it makes it a lot easier to have that there.
Just like I don't NEED google. I could scan through hundreds of thousands of websites or hire someone else to do it. But it's just easier to do that myself.
IT was a massive leap forward for a 50 year old idea.
IF it takes another 50 years to make a leap of equal size, we might get to AGI before the heat death of the the universe.

If we shut them off tomorrow what do YOU need to replace in your life without them?
