> After all, a plateau of the current systems is possible and very credible, but it would likely stimulate, at this point, massive research efforts in the next step of architectures.

A lot of AI’s potential hasn’t even been realized yet. There’s a long tail of integrations and solution building still ahead. A lot of creative applications haven’t been realized yet - arguably for the better, but it will be tried and some will be economical.

That’s a case for a moderate economic upturn though.

I'd argue that the applications if LLMs are well known but tgat LLMs currently aren't capable of performing those tasks.

Everyone wants to replace their tech support with an LLM but they don't want some clever prompter to get it to run arbitrary queries or have it promise refunds.

It's not reliable because it's not intelligent.

I think autonomous support agents are just missing the point. LLMs are tools that empower the user. A support agent is very often in a somewhat adversarial position to the customer. You don't want to empower your adversary.

LLMs supporting an actual human customer service agent are fine and useful.

		How do you prevent your adversary prompt-injecting your LLM when they communicate with it? Or if you prevent any such communication, how can the LLM be useful?
