As an enthusiast delving in for the pure pleasure of it I see a future ahead where as a programmer, I will have an array of options to use LLM's in hybrid systems. I'm not looking for an AGI, rather a mixture of experts that I can remix as I see fit, each one tuned for a subset of 'intelligence' that can be wielded with relative precision as part of a larger system that combines traditional programming with the new abilities offered by LLMS's and their kin. Certainly an interesting time to dip back in, there are aspects of the domain that mirror my experiences with the early web and for those I am grateful.
