Remember the ones who loudly proclaimed the internet to be a passing fad, not useful for normal people. All anti LLM rants taste like that to me.

I get why they thought that - it was kind of crappy unless you're one who is excited about the future and prepared to bleed a bit on the edge.

For me they're very different and they sound much more the crypto-skepticism. It's not like "LLMs are worthless, there are no use cases, they should be banned" but rather "LLMs do have their use cases but they also do have inherent flaws that need to be addressed; embedding them in every product makes no sense etc.". (I mean LLMs as tech, what's happening with GenAI companies and their leaders is a completely different matter and we have every right to criticize every lie, hypocrisy and manipulation, but let's not mix up these two.)
