I am a mild LLM skeptic. But I find the response of "oh, it's all just post-crypto scamming" really weird. Crypto was a total scam. There was never a concrete, non-criminal (important caveat) application where crypto was easier than just using PayPal or whatever. LLMs are very imperfect and still have a lot of work to do, but they do actually do some job related tasks today. If I have JS snippet and I wish it were in Go or vice versa, I can ask an LLM and get a good translation. If I have a document, I can ask the LLM if there's something I should add or simplify. Are these world changing capabilities? No, not yet. But they do exist and they are real and they are new. So yes, of course investors are interested in a new technology whose future limits we don't know yet.
