The other part to this is that LLMs as a technology definitely has some value as a foundation to build features/products on other than chat bots. But unclear to be whether that value can sustain current valuations.

Is a better de-noisier algorithm in Adobe Lightroom worth $500 billion?

No.

But: a tool that allows me to de-noise some images, just by uploading a few samples and describing what I want to change, just might be? Even more so, possibly, if I can also upload a desired result and let the "AI" work on things until it matches that?

But also: cool, that saves me several hours per week! Not: oh, wow, that means I can get rid of this entire department...

A bit off-topic, but denoise in LR is like 3 years behind the purpose-built products like Topaz, so a bad example. They've added any ML-based denoise to it when, like a year ago?
