It lost a little of its cool factor. However, they provide a nearly essential service at this point. While it is easy to underestimate, I suspect this is already have a measurable impact on global GDP.

Is inefficiency the path to economic greatness and quality of life improvements? I suspect no.

Probably the answer to that question is yes. Because a large number of people born aren't as intelligent as a really good LLM but unless you're intending to leave them to starve (hi to all the e/acc peeps out there, I hate you!) you need to create a system with inefficiencies so that they don't just litter the street begging and dying.
