I agree with that. At work, we are about to implement a decent LLM and ditch Dialogflow for our chatbot. But not to talk directly to the client (it's asking for a disaster), just to recognize intentions, pretty much like Dialogflow but better.

Right now there are many small but decent models available for free, and cheap to use. If it wasn't for the hype, it would never have reached that level of optimization. Now we can make decent home assistants, text parsers and a bunch of other stuff you already mentioned.

But someone paid for that. The companies who believed this would be revolutionary will eventually have a really hard reality check. Not that they won't try and use it for critical stuff, but once they do and it fails spectacularly they will realize a lot of money went down the drain.

And we'll thank them for their service.
