I remain very skeptical that most companies or products can or should integrate with LLMs - and I say this as someone who works on a LLM-based product! Overall I feel like our industry has lost the plot to a large degree. Hype has always to some degree exceeded the merits of the technology-of-the-month, but the last few cycles have been truly extraordinary in terms of the gap between the breathless hype and the reality of the tech. It's LLMs now but before it was crypto. It just seems like we're stagnating as an industry, and rather focus our efforts on the hard R&D needed to reach the next Big Thing, we've decided it's much easier just to focus on cults of personality combined with vast over-hypedness.
