There is definitely interesting and high-potential technology here. I do not think the current crop of "wrap ChatGPT in an API for XYZ business-case" startups will succeed - they will be total fails across the board. There is also an issue where anyone with an iota of experience or degree in something tangential to AI or ML can be the "genius" behind a new startup for funding - a telltale sign of bubble mentality to me.

If LLMs in their current form as human-replacement agents are cheaper versions of Fiver / mechanical turks, and we all know there are very limited, bottom-of-the-barrel use cases for those cheap labor technologies, then why would LLMs be a radical improvement? It's nonsensical.
