Good. I’ve been aware of LLMs for about five years but I’ve been saying since the hype started that it can’t do what people are expecting/afraid it will do. It’s about time for sanity to prevail.
Same. I support AI completely as a tool to solve specific problems and that is about it. What is really cool is that AI libraries and such got a massive boost of needed development so plebs like me can code simple ANN apps in Python with little skill. Documentation has improved 100x and hardware support is fairly good.
LinkedIn seems to be an interesting indicator of where tech is in its hype cycle. I guess LinkedIn went from 100% AI-awesome-everything about 2 months ago to almost zero posts and ads about it. I suppose most of the vaporware AI products are imploding now…
