Nobody is building anything worthwhile with these things.
Basically every piece of software being built is now being built, in some part, with AI, so that is patently false.
Nobody who is building anything worthwhile is hooking their LLM up to moltbook, perhaps.

Yep, just like a few years ago, all fintech being built was being built on top of crypto and NFTs. This is clearly the future and absolutely NOT a bubble.

This seems WAY less true than the assertion of software being built with LLM help. (Source: Was in FinTech.)
Like, to the point of being a willful false equivalence.
My own coding productivity has increased by a few times by using LLMs. Is that just a bubble?
Your productivity has not increased by a few times unless you're measuring purely by lines of code written, which has been firmly established over the decades as a largely meaningless metric.

I mean... even if you're an LLM skeptic, they are already default tools in a software engineer's toolbox, so at a minimum software engineering will have been transformed, even if AI enthusiasm cools.
The fact to that there is so much value already being derived is a pretty big difference from crypto which never generated any value at all.
There are so many things to criticize about the current state of gen AI, but if someone tells me with a straight face that there is zero value in LLMs and it's all like crypto I will just dismiss their opinion wholesale because if they are this wrong and lazy about something that is easily refutable, their other opinions aren't worth much either.
