Surely, LLM's can be something other than either the coming of singularity or spam generation? In fact, much of the current use of LLM's today do not fall into either fostering the singularity or generating spam.

Personally, I think LLM's have a place but need supervision for the foreseeable future. In case there are diminishing returns on the horizon, we might need a new AI breakthrough to go further than what we have. But I am absolutely helped in my job by AI assistance. Key is however to understand the system well enough to realize when something is off. Engineers won't be wholly replaced by AI anytime soon, but many can already be helped by them.
