Also we're still in the middle of the transformation, clearly the AI we'll have in 5 years will be radically different and better (by some definition of better) than what we see today. It's kind of weird that you'd be disappointed that the world will only be totally transformed in ten years, and not five.
Based on past performance that's not clear at all. Remember Elon predicting full self driving by 2017. It's almost 10 years past that predicted date and it's still not quite there. 5 years is nothing in tech. It takes 5 years to get a slightly improved chip designed and manufactured. It's been 3.5 years since ChatGPT was released and the LLMs of today are not radically different from that, and no radical changes have been teased. We're still in the throw-more-hardware-at-it phase. We could be here a while.
It hasn't changed the way we sleep, wake up, eat, walk and talk so its not "life changing" or "world changing" in the sense a meteorite hit us, but each day thousands of mini meteorites are hitting Earth and we're becoming normalized to it one step at a time.
You are allowed to be disappointed and discouraged! For all the good tech that has come out of the AI revolution, most of it is ignored or shelved for things that can squeeze more and more money out of us and make our lifes worse, not better. Despite there being real potential to generate nice code, assist with biomedical research, self-driving cars, etc.
