In other words, what's the benefit for the average joe(s) / humanity as a whole?

What class is this for?
Near/long-term non-corporate benefits I see in AI is the decentralizing of apps. Rather than relying on an app store or having someone build it for us, we can build simple apps that do what we need and don't hand over information to other entities.

Not everyone will make their own apps, but many will and supplement their commercial apps. Like making bread instead of buying it at a store.

So i just made dinner and thought of this question. One thing the LLMs a very good at is "I have X, Y, Z ingredients. what can i make and how can i make it?" It has really helped me start to move more towards buying ingredients as opposed to processed crap.
