> I do agree that we're currently in a hype cycle though; I just think it's akin to the 90s dotcom bubble. Yes. I remember attending a professional conference around 1996 or 1997. One of the presenters spoke about the Internet and how we could supposedly use it in our work. Some people in the audience were doubtful (partly because the live demonstration didn’t go well due to problems getting a dial-up connection) and said it just seemed like a bunch of hype. Someone in the audience responded, as I recall, “Yes, there is a lot of hype about the Internet now. But it’s clearly becoming useful, and it won’t be hype forever.” I feel the same way now about LLMs.
