There's a difference between a company that overextends itself and fails to live up to its own promises, and the current explosion of LLMs. Are there some snake-oily VC pitches that over-promise what LLMs can do? For sure. The big distinction is that LLMs already have a whole bunch of things they're great at while Babylon was never really able to perform even one of it's promised features very well.

So far there is no reliable data that some LLM startup started making good money and clients didn't leave after 1 year of mediocre results.
- shrimpx 3y agoI feel like LLMs won't find their success in this "here's a LLM product!" kind of way but more by being leveraged internally by companies to increase velocity, do more with fewer employees, etc. I've certainly gained a lot from LLMs just by getting help on my own projects.
- rnk 3y agoThe article suggests they really didn't make any ml based approach where they take in huge numbers of case mates to train a system, so I think it can't be used to say anything about that f that approach works.
