I think it's easy to forget how much low-hanging-fruit there still is, in terms of taking full advantage of this technology. People are still figuring out very basic integrations, and even now, at this early stage, the things I can do with LLMs are pretty incredible. For example, I was able to set Cursor up on finally dragging an old codebase out of the dark ages. It then built new features that I've long wanted. It took a few hours on my end, but would have been at least a week or two without it. I'm not exposed to much of the hype, though, so maybe my calibration of what the hype is, is wrong.

  So many things, once you start looking. However, most of the critics seem to focus on what it can't do currently, which seems to turn off their brains to the possibilities. Just look at what Cursor (and similar) have done in terms of the tooling for LLMs. There's still tons of progress to be made there, but similar tooling can happen across a variety of industries and categories. For example, I run a database of information that needs constant updating. I set up automated fact checking (with a human looped in), that enables nearly live updates, which would be incredibly expensive without an LLM. There are so many projects, big and small, just like that one, that are being created right now. The low hanging fruit is extremely abundant, for those who are able and willing to find it.

    "The low hanging fruit is extremely abundant, for those who are able and willing to find it." Ok fella. Its so abundant right. So why not go ahead, start your own firm and profit from this opportunity, that according to you exists? lol.

      I'm using LLM tools to do quite a lot of things, and am very happy with the results in my business. So yeah, I am indeed running my own firm and profiting from this opportunity.

        There's a point at which you need to actually specifically refer to what low-hanging fruit there is, "trust me bro" and "do your own research" shows you either don't know or don't have conviction in what you're saying

        Was this not specific enough, from my previous comment? > For example, I run a database of information that needs constant updating.

        Fella youre not saying anything specific enough. Seriously, its kinda annoying to read these posts again and again. Show me something, preferably with the financials to support it!
