> There's gonna be amazing products made with LLM

You think more amazing than what was made without LLM?

There is going to be something that would not have existed without LLM because there wouldn't have been enough resources to create it before. Probably already is. Some of it will be amazing, although most of it probably not.

Example: Qobuz has no official Linux client, but there's https://qbz.lol/ which it seems to me is mostly vibecoded. It's not perfect, but it works pretty well and can do some fancy stuff like bit perfect DAC passthrough up to 192kHz/24bit.

I hear you, and those are good applications of LLMs: create something that didn't make economic sense before.

But I'm asking something slightly different. I'm asking about something that's amazing, not due to a different economic calculus, but something that's AMAZING that would not be possible to create by humans.

I think it's possible, but probably beyond my capability of imagination, so I cannot give a satisfying answer beyond this.
