My org at work is organizing a hackathon and the theme is AI-based solutions to help with software development execution. For the past year they've also tried to shoehorn LLMs anywhere they can. Of all the ideas proposed so far, not a single one of them needs LLMs or AI to be done and could be implemented with 30 years old tech. I won't say LLMs aren't more useful than Blockchain, they are, but this is exactly the same situation of all companies trying to find a problem to the "solution" that GenAI is, like they tried to find a problem that Blockchain solves. Except much bigger companies have invested much more money in GenAI. The bubble burst will be spectacular.
