“The internet is a passing fad”

I don’t think LLMs have zero applications, I just haven’t found any for my specific use cases. If someone is able to figure out a way for LLMs to interpret construction drawings, it would be immensely useful, I’d be able to price substantially more work.
I think back to a 1991-1992 when someone stood over my shoulder watching and telling me what a waste of time it was and who they hell is ever going to use it :)). I remind them from time to time and we have a good laugh.
Ah yes, the same quote often used by cryptocurrency enthusiasts.

"One time a new tech succeeded despite skepticism, therefore all new tech will succeed despite skepticism"

Distributed ledger/blockchain is an interesting idea but far too energy intensive to be of practical use.

And then theres the whole concept of what currency actually is.

Thank you, I'm glad someone understood my comment at least.
