The only thing I can think of when I read posts like that is the early days when crypto started to take off.

Its near the peak of the hype, but not quite there yet.

People may make drastic life changes due to AI soon. People will keep claiming its the future, and everyone else is just blind. It'll be compared to the industrial revolution (or similar).

It may take a while, and AI will always be around in products, but the hype will die down, and it'll be just another piece of tech. And all these silly hype people, with there "INSANE CRAZY THINGS IN AI THIS WEEK!!! TRULY CRAZY!" will move on to the next well-marketed mediocre tech idea.

Dont compare this to smartphones, or to the internet. LLMs are more like the invention of the "makeup application robot", or the invention of those weird animatronics that look super realistic.

I wonder when the discussion about the climate impact of LLMs will start - just to draw more parallels to the overhyped crypto bubble.

Im glad you guys are having fun, I guess. Just dont make drastic life changes based on LLMs existing.
