>> It's really hard to accurately assess the possibilities granted by LLMs, because they just feel like they have so much potential.
> I agree, but this feeling isn't anything new! This was the verbatim argument people used when insisting that blockchain was going to be a transformative technology.
Not saying you're doing this, just a random thought: it's funny seeing how much effort is spent trying to predict the trajectory of LLMs by comparing them to the trajectories of other technologies. Someone will say that AI is like VR or blockchain, and then someone else will chime in that we're actually in the early days of something like the internet, etc, etc..
It's like, imagine I wanted to know if my idea was any good. Thinking about the idea itself is hard, instead I'll explain it to you and look at your reaction. Oh no, that's the face of someone who just had NFTs explained to them, I should halt immediately.
