LLMs are not hype.

In education at least, we've actively improved efficiency by ~25% across a large swath of educators (direct time saved) - agentic evaluators, tutors and doubt clarifiers. The wins in this industry are clear. And this is that much more time to spend with students.

I also know from 1-1 conversation with my peers in large-finance world, and there too the efficiency improvements on multiple fronts are similar.




They are partially hype though. That's what people here are arguing. There are benefits but their valuation is largely hype driven. AI is going to transform industries and humanity, yes. But AI does not mean LLM (even if LLM means AI). LLM raw potential was reached last year with GPT-4. From here on, the value will lie on exploiting the potential we already have to generate clever applications. Just like the internet provided a platform for new services, I expect LLMs to be the same but with a much smaller impact
