My opinion as to how much economic impact LLMs will have is all over the place.
On one hand, they're clearly impressive and useful. They'll get better, but it's not at all clear how much better.
On the other hand, we've had access to 3.5 for 6 months now, and thus far companies love to talk about their AI strategies, and love to roll out "alpha previews", but not much of value seems to have been produced thus far.
You'd imagine that an instantly transformative feature would not sit around in alpha to die. I think that companies are likely discovering that it's not magic, and that there are many problems that it can't solve.
It actually seems like we have passed peak LLM at this point.
