The current LLM'S kinda suck, but companies have fired huge swaths of their staff and plan in putting LLMs in their place. Either those companies hire back all those workers, or they get the programs to not suck. And making LLMs actually capable of working unsupervised will take more and more energy.

My take is that LLMs are absolutely incredible... for personal use and hobby projects. I can't think of a single task I would trust an LLM to perform entirely unsupervised in a business context.

Of course, that's just where LLMs are at today, though. They'll improve.

LLM's will probably improve at an exponential level - similar to how cpu's did in the 80s/90s. in ~10 generations the LLMs will likely be very useful
