I think the first chart could be a beautiful summary of what's driving LLMs into a bubble. At first, they're amazing and will obviously be able to improve productivity if not replace employees outright: C suites and venture capitalists around the world rejoice and begin pumping in billions of dollars of investments. But as time goes on, the demands placed on actual human employees become clear. Far from being able to replace an employee, the employee using the LLM might spend more time cleaning up its messes than had they done it themself.

Yes, LLMs have and will continue to improve. But it's that initial "holy shit, this thing is basically as good as a real accountant" without any understanding that it can't sustain it which leaves many with an overinflated view of their current value.
