Yeah the dotcom crash didn’t prove that the internet was useless for business. And the housing crash didn’t mean houses don’t have value.

We get hype bubbles. They’re (nearly?) always bigger than the thing they’re about, in a given time and place.

It’s reasonable to think the AI hype train is one of those, to some degree or another. It’s also reasonable to see great utility in llms, now and in the future.
