There's something in there about LLM hype not acknowledging the true spark and value of humanity which is not actually that far off from the root of my "crankier" thoughts.
A lot of Cool Shit sells the promise of empowerment but I've noticed is often the opposite of empowering.

Personal experience really helps.
holy shit, I wrote almost the same thing in an anti-AI article! amazing to see that someone else shares the exact same thought
Essentially, they may have some use, someone already applies them in their job. They may be a prototype for something bigger.
So I don't like the hype, but not the LLMs.
Just because it hallucinates sometimes it doesn't mean that it's not very useful a lot of the time.

It takes seconds to go through the solenoid test menu, find the one that's not working, and then it even tells you the wire colors!
Nothing is like that anymore!
LLMs are basically cosmic-brain madlibs, but are being packaged as if they were Gen.1 Thinking Machines™.
1) Most useful 'AI' tasks have been around for much longer than ChatGPT and the like (think magic fill) and
2) 'AI' isn't for us, it's for the investors
I think he's on to something
