ChatGPT's current state resembles the early days of humanity's discovery of fire. We are currently experimenting by throwing random things into it. Someone just threw in a piece of game meat and we are all very excited about how our food now tastes much better. We are yet to cast in that perfect rock that will start the bronze age.

From Wikipedia: The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is a book about the history of science by philosopher Thomas S. Kuhn.

"According to Kuhn, the scientific paradigms preceding and succeeding a paradigm shift are so different that their theories are incommensurable—the new paradigm cannot be proven or disproven by the rules of the old paradigm, and vice versa."

Thomas Khuns claimed that all scientific advances are revolutions and not gradual developments. This is therefore just the beginning.
