A lot of what LLMs help with is useless processes and paperwork that exists solely and purposefully as an impediment, when regulating against something is unpopular or prohibited. There's no specific intelligence required for these tasks, just a familiarity with a small amount of information, buried deep in a large amount of irrelevant nonsense.

yes, but the cost of using such services must be offset by how much you gain. We'll see in the future

I would assume many consumers are gonna have to switch to more of DIY approach for many tasks that required some domain expertise. For example, most of my friends completely stopped buying useless skincare products because chatgpt would make them a table of INCI list and explain them the benefit of the ingredient. Turns out most of products are BS. Vitamin C doesn't even penetrate the deeper skin layer, it just evaporates on your skin. My bet is that many companies will have hard time marketing on customer's naivety.

If we have been living in the Information Age, I propose that we have just entered the Intelligence Age.

> These examples add up to something bigger. As AI goes mainstream, it will remove one of the most enduring distortions in modern capitalism: the information advantages that sellers, service providers and intermediaries enjoy over consumers. When everyone has a genius in their pocket, they will be less vulnerable to mis-selling—benefiting them and improving overall economic efficiency. The “rip-off economy”, in which firms profit from opacity, confusion or inertia, is meeting its match.

Except that LLMs are not "a genius in your pocket." They'll definitely give you an answer, whether it's good or correct, who knows.

maybe the amish were right all along

Except LLM derived cons also increase.

Technology changes, but on average human-beings do not. =3

Just wait until LLMs will serve ads. That's pretty much guaranteed to come.

Given the huge capitalizations of AI companies, banks will not like this and will eliminate it
