Amazing that at nearing the 50 comment mark and there only seems to be people who have successfully created tutorial examples? And some other things that could be done with more purpose specific traditional solutions. And some people showing love for the concepts. This is probably the bleakest I've seen a Ask HN thread considering this is where all the money is going. I think one stark thing that maybe isn't being addressed is that the value of the models is being completely controlled by the model creators or else there would be at least one story by now of success that doesn't involve merely making the LLM products available to customers as a middle entity.

I share your impression. For something that is hyped that much, it does not seem to have much real world use.
