Yeah, i hate how LLMs are getting lumped into actually useful machine learning stuff that has been in development for years without all the hype and idiot CEOs trying to use it to layoff useful employees

Those aren’t being sold to the general public, though. Those have value; the shit being put into our phones and operating systems does not.
