This is just the typical FOMO nonsense pushed by AI fans.

It's the exact same as seen with many past hypes, and every time the result is a lot more nuanced than those fans claim. It wasn't that long ago that people were claiming MongoDB was going to revolutionize the world and make relational databases obsolete, or how cryptocurrencies were going to change the world, or NFTs, and the list goes on.

For every MongoDB and NFT, there is also the personal computer, the Internet, the web, the smartphone, etc. If you think LLMs are comparable to NFTs, well I really don't know what to say... It's genuinely shocking to me that there are smart people on HN who believe this.
