If you can mentally separate the technology from the capitalist orgy around trying to shoehorn LLMs into every possible thing, he’s not wrong.
The technology has promise, but the reality of what it can be useful for is complete overshadowed by the hype frenzy declaring the end of all knowledge workers and creatives.
LLMs are significantly better at translation than anything we’ve been able to design, for instance. But that’s not flashy, it doesn’t generate seed funding or lure investors so it’s largely not what people think of when they hear “AI”.
Nah, sorry, if Gabe looked at the LLM mess of the last 5+ years and is still pumping it as ‘ermagerd this is technology that rivals the importance of the internet, or computers themselves’ he is cooked on marketing hype.
It’s still crap.
Its most promising commercial application in paid models (coding), is still writing code slower than professional coders, when actually measured in studies.
The only goals it’s hit is makinh a few jerks more wealthy, move that wealth inequality needle more towards the billionaires, and set us up for the next global financial crisis that we’ll all be bailing them out on and suffering global decades long recessions through.
I reckon 2027 it’ll hit, that’s looking like when the money guys will finally be completely out of wiggle room and there will be no more cash for the cash fire.
