> I'm continually surprised by the amount of negativity

Maybe I'm just old, but to me, LLMs feel like magic. A decade ago, anyone predicting their future capabilities would have been laughed at.

Magic Makes Money - the more magical something seems, the more people are willing to pay for that something.

The discussion here seems to bare this out: CEO claims AI is magical, here the truth becomes that it’s just an auto-complete engine.
