Yes, actually. I think there's useful functions not yet developed, and that we may yet see surprising capabilities that don't appear as potentials yet. I'm quite cynical about the amount of bullshit, hype, and misdirected investment that will accompany the LLMs we've already seen. The more ferment happens, the more growth in the underlying technology we get from this point; will feed foaming waves of toxic "we're here to make money from this without ever understanding it" involvement and activity that may well suffocate useful research. It's very much like a cow pie. Not so objectionable at first, but then the first movers take advantage of it and create an Atmosphere, which nurtures and draws Buzz and Activity and furor that is probably best avoided unless one is directly benefiting from it. After a bit that activity dies down, there's less objectionable presence of profligate resource users; and we can more easily access the factors within the pile that benefit growth. The analogy works for lots of the tech hype cycles we've had for the last while.
