Much like crypto it’s a thin veneer dusted on regular products. B2B will consume anything it’s mostly social spending like a fashion show, crypto out, AI in.

I've never used crypto or blockchain for anything. But I've used LLMs every day for years now. They are extremely useful. For example, I was able to get a quick summary of this 10,000 word article:

- OpenAI loses money on every interaction

- Hallucinations are unsolved

- Zitron questions the validity of OpenAI's user numbers

- He also criticizes their lack of product differentiation

- He points to the low adoption rates of AI products

Those are valid criticisms, but that's too many words for what mostly amounts to stating well known issues and then arguing based on our current limited knowledge that they likely won't be overcome. I'm not claiming the AI hype is real, but the doomsaying is overblown, too.
