Large language models are a deeply impressive technology, but they're not artificial general intelligences, because you need to supervise them. Like everything else that has been called 'artificial intelligence' since the 1950s, I think we'll find some niches that they're good for, and that'll be the end of the hype bubble.

The hype does serve a purpose, though: it motivates people to try to find more possible uses for LLMs. However, as with all experiments, we should expect most of these attempts to fail.
