As an AI booster that falls into the regular folks view -- YES! THIS exactly!
People will use and fund AI tools that have usefulness to them.
AI boosters love to see the capabilities because it unlocks a whole new verdant valley in the continent of useful ideas, but until a street is laid down and a general store is available it remains the domain of early adopters.
LLMs are genuinely impressive. They aren't yet AGI, but they are fantastic tools. More exciting to me as a practitioner is the Segment Anything foundational Model (SAM) since I can put that into immediate use for computer vision in a variety of domains. LLMs still require some baking for broad usefulness (though there are many places they are already useful, its not quite broad enough).
When folks use AI focused on augmenting capabilities rather than replacing people, you get a great return. Until AGI is clear (and we'll know, the AI will tell us without being prompted I reckon), let's treat AI as an exoskeleton rather than a new species.
