The tech problems will eventually get sorted out I'm sure, the most uncertain problems are legal. The world's copyright law is not even up to date enough to deal with the internet without crappy patchwork workarounds (like Youtube's contentID nonsense), much less LLMs.
Steam just banned AI art and text assets and built in generators because they don't want the liability of hosting it. Midjourney is getting sued by Getty, Copilot breaks GPL licenses and was even facing class action lawsuits, OpenAI trained using copyrighted and even pirated content, LLama models are unavailable for commercial use, AGI alarmists want to ban the whole thing altogether, etc.
A lot of end usage depends on how all of this plays out in courts over the next few years. Why would people dump capital into something that will be declared illegal?

- staunton 3y agoIf people get used to LLMs governing their lives, those copyright laws will "just" be changed. People will not accept a legal challenge taking away their toys. Granted, we're not at that point yet. But the window for the legal stuff really making a difference is slowly closing. Meanwhile, the legal system is pretty slow.
