No the problem is that LLM keep being shoved into products and processes that are not stored for.

Why the fuck does a fridge need a text-prediction model, or notepad or even google when it isn't useful for fir most basic searches?

It has the economics of a bubble, is making or computing extremely expensive and in most cases degrades my experience. Obviously they are running into a wall.

LLMs used for purpose can be very useful! They will however not lead to AGI.

Much like my underwear doesn't need a Bluetooth connection, so do most of these products not need an LLM.

And we're not even talking about how there are people in jail for a fraction of the piracy these companies committed out that they used peoples private data to train these models. Based on how IP law is wielded against people we should get a payout for every single time an LLM is queried.

It's being shoved down everyone's throats for the same reasons it was shoved down everyone's throats 6 years ago... they need to train this shit so they can replace everyone.

It has the economics of a bubble, is making or computing extremely expensive and in most cases degrades my experience. Obviously they are running into a wall.

This screams fraud more than anything to me. It feels more like Enron than pets.com but maybe it's a bubble. I won't argue with you there. The rest of this statement, I agree with.

They will however not lead to AGI.

I'm not confident about that. How are you confident about that? I'm also not saying you're wrong... but I don't think you know this.

And we’re not even talking about how there are people in jail for a fraction of the piracy these companies committed out that they used peoples private data to train these models. Based on how IP law is wielded against people we should get a payout for every single time an LLM is queried.

Fully agree with you.
