Yeah. They likely equate LLM with all AI and a company with software which is more than just a chat bot gets lumped in with everyone else.

I find it hard to understand why the possibility of such improvement would cause a selloff.
Because investors are some of the stupids fuckers on the planet, and the automatic trading bots follow them

I personally reduced trade-show receiving times by 75% per item by designing a Microsoft Form for warehouse employees to upload photos of shipping labels, where 10 lines of JS pulled all the relevant info from the sheet being populated by the form. This replaced hand-writing complex triplicate forms, allowed us to send reports before close of business, and the client was thrilled.
My boss absolutely hated the new workflow, as she couldn’t read code and therefore didn’t trust that my system worked, all client satisfaction to the contrary. Absolutely absurd.
And this before LLMs were a thing. “AI” is not doing significant automation that hasn’t already been being done for decades.
