The domain behind "AI" is so much more than just LLMs, and there is legitimately a lot of value to extract. There is meaningful measure of progress in the notion of having explicitly parallel processing units for co-processing, but this is just not it.
Even something as simple as sorting out through your photos based on visual information in them rather than filenames is yet an unsolved problem. We have good methods for local search, none of which gets shipped to the consumer.
There are legitimately important advancements to be made in day-to-day computing, covering still clunky and awkward experience of rudimentary tasks - but they are locked to academic Python and SaaS that does not care about retention. Even M$ and its 365 story cannot beat the utility that good old offline Office brought.
The real bubble is much, much larger than AI - and it starts to show. Code and businesses which are created just to be sold, with products that are designed to NOT succeed. The hype around big LLMs is just the cherry on top.
