This has been a hysteria, as venture capital looks for some sort of "sure thing." But aside from LLMs failing over time as actual results are seen, the many companies pushing out their product -- as against some others' products -- is about acquiring subscription-based cash flows. That's not happening. At the $20 per month range and above, trying to complete with a few "big boys" and a lot of entry-level freebies, there are simply not enough customers, and precious few willing to sign up long term. It's the marketing of hype coupled to a market, much of which is imaginary.
I had an discussion with another Freeper about his using his choice of AI to somehow document his religious view of others. It was unimpressive. But the AI spat out lots of nicely formatted text. Too much is expected of LLMs, all the while to little is expected of us mere mortals.
So many of these startups will fail, just as the EV hysteria spun off many companies, all now defunct. Ditto with the likes of Solyndra and more. Hysteria. It gets stampedes of venture capital running this way and then that way....
Speaking of don’t look now. Doesn’t it look like Musk is trying to spin up a new hype? Tesla seems to be quietly dying in the car building business. I suppose it will be robots next.
