Certain parts of what we call AI will definitely be used more in the future: facial recognition, surrogate models, video generation.
I don't, however, see LLMs as consumer products being that prevalent in the future as currently. The cost of using LLMs is kept artificially low for consumers at the moment. That is bound to hit a wall eventually, at the very least when the bubble pops. At least that seems like an obvious analysis to make at this point in time.
- rco8786 1y agoThe cost angle is interesting, I'm not close enough to the industry to say for sure. But from what I'm reading inference and tokens are only getting cheaper. Regarding usage - I don't think LLMs are going away. I think LLMs are going to be what finally topples Google search. Even my less technical friends and acquaintances are frequently reaching for ChatGPT for things they would have Googled in the past. I also think we'll see the equivalent of Google Adwords start to pop up in free consumer LLMs.

If the results of current LLM performance is acceptable, costs to achieve these same results will inevitably go down as semiconductor process improvements bring markedly reduced operational expenses (power, density, etc.)
