Not even really "Until they face reality". I think "we're all going to increasingly suffer" suffices. Not to be too provocative, but I think that even if LLMs don't quite pan out for what they dream of using them for, there's still about a billion other things that can be tightened up to make your life more miserable and their lives more profitable. More ads, more abusive trickery, more 'attestation'/'safety'/'integrity', more subscription services, more discontinuations of old software and features that worked perfectly fine, more total oversight and tracking. It's the trajectory we've been on for a very long time, and there's no reason for it to change.
