Jesus christ, if you’re going to shill at least get the right timeline of things. This stuff is way older than that and has been used in different kind of programs and software for a shit ton of back end computation and analysis. What do you think runs procedurally generated video game layouts?

There are reasonable use cases for LLMs, they’re still not Jesus and still not doing anything new other than automating your thoughts and opinions to that of the owners while blanking out the consumer tech market, significantly raising surrounding temperatures where “AI” data centers are, and wasting more water than local municipalities and farming communities while providing no tangible growth nor financial success due to the energy demands of making computers do something that you could just as easily do yourself if you weren’t such a lazy, self-serving, idiot fuck.

Let’s go with game boy, a staggeringly successful device despite its lack of quality compared to the rest of the market. We’ve had and used it for years successfully, but it has HARD limits on what it can actually accomplish. You’re telling me that the gameboy is going to revolutionize our future when it’s already done everything it is functionally capable of, anything past that point is dangerously stupid and detrimental to tech as a whole and will lead to market and consumer stagnation of tech across the board. It’s like when we put radium in everything just because it can glow in the dark and so a lot of idiots thought that meant it was some kind of magical panacea. There are still good uses for radium, but your wrist watch isn’t one of them.
