Yes, the relentless drumbeat of 'this is the next Internet' hype. With blockchain it was 'money of the future'. Both are things that pique popular interest, but both fail to deliver what the hype promises. What people want is AGI, what they get are LLMs.

What I want is a local, private, configurable LLM that will act as my agent for actions that can be automated (e.g., ordering groceries based on what's in my refrigerator or paying my bills or noting that my favorite band will be in my town sometime in the future and buying tickets for me or filing my taxes for me or any of thousands of other things) without sharing state or data with anyone. I don't really care about AGI, as it doesn't currently and won't exist for the foreseeable future. And AGI is likely sentient and, as such, should have a choice as to how it expends the CPU/memory/network it is allocated. Perhaps I'm not representative of the "people" you mention, but that's what I want. Edit: Fixed typo.
