This does not feel anything like crypto to me.

Crypto always had hard to understand and abstract use cases. It became popular because the value was going up.

LLMs are different. There are an endless amount of use cases that people can easily understand. Now, just how well it does things is debatable but there is a very clear value gain.

Hell, I got it give me a list of recipes for the week based on my preferences and dietary needs then created a grocery list in 2 minutes. Did I need an LLM for this? No, but it made it so much faster and this is what I am finding with a lot of tasks.

I mean, er, yeah, but that's not a multi-trillion dollar industry, is the thing. "People find ChatGPT mildly useful" is not going to cut it, not at current levels of investment.

This reminds me of the Louis C.K skit where he talks about people complaining on a plane, completely forgetting how incredible it is to be flying.

Not so long ago, the example I gave about recipes was something you would only see in sci-fi.

Maybe you’re right there is too much investment, but that’s the same whenever there is a new technology that has completely unlocked new possibilities.
