I don’t agree with your stated premise that A.I. is here to stay. I’ve seen a lot of commenters use that sentence as if it were some kind of law of nature, with zero evidence to support it.
It might be true, but it could also be false. No one knows the future, but what I do know is that the A.I. we have (LLM) is propped up by enormous amounts of speculative funding that hasn’t come anywhere near being justified by commensurate profits. What about that business model says it will be around in the long term?
You’re still conflating the tech itself and business. The tech can exist without the business or without it being part of the core business model (Think, a smaller LLM to generate game dialogue (which imo (if done right) could be a very cool thing)) trained and shipped as part of a game
LLMs are here to stay, but when the bubble pops many MANY businesses will not survive as we all know. But every bubble has its survivors and those will be the ones that actually use it for proper use cases that can actually turn a profit or use it to support or enhance other features that are part of their product (and I’m sure a few giant ones will survive just because of their size, though they’ll be damaged)
There are also plenty of good open source LLMs that don’t depend on profits and business models, so that’s another reason LLMs are here to stay
Though they will evolve im sure, new research and techniques will come and make them more useful
