Nobody likes the idea that this is only "economical superior AI". Not as good as humans, but a LOT cheaper.

The "It will just get better" is bubble baiting the investors. The tech companies learned from the past and they are riding and managing the bubble to extract maximum ROI before it pops.

The reality is a lot of work done by humans can be replaced by an LLM with lower quality and nuance. The loss in sales/satisfaction/ect is more than offset by the reduced cost.

The current model of LLMs are enshitification accelerators and that will have real effects.
