“Instead of you prompting AI and it responds in a few seconds, we now see instances where I can tell it ‘Dear AI, please do research for me and write a report’ and then it goes off for half an hour, and browses the internet, summarizes all these things, comes back in half an hour with a report.” This is not working as good as I just described it, but is working much better now than three months ago.
