Because most of these things are not multi-trillion-dollar ideas. "We found a way to make illustrators, copyeditors, and paralegals, and several dozen other professions, somewhat obsolete" in no way justifies the valuations of OpenAI or Nvidia.

That's right, but there's more. When you think about the cost of compute and power for these LLM companies, they have no choice. It MUST be a multi-trillion-dollar idea or it's completely uninvestable. That's the only way they can sucker more and more money into this scheme.

Perhaps not. But I find myself using LLMs instead ofba search engine like Google.

This does have value.

		To you, yes, but the compute to return that search costs them far more than a simple search query and on top of that it's hard to monetize.
