Reminds me of the crypto bubble. All the defi shitcoins giving yields to each other while no shitcoin actually generated real value or had real demand. Now everyone building LLM libraries and systems but very few LLM products yield real value

The same is not true of AI projects which require a lot more upfront investment.
