What's unique about LLM's is that they break the idea that consciousness is a function of language and its narratives, and a whole bunch of other anxieties go with it. My optimism is that it clicks that truth does not come from internet narratives, or any ideology or narrative for that matter, and that more people are driven to develop competence and real experiences instead of imagined ones.
Optimism is rarely rational but it's always risk taking, and that's worthwhile, imo.
