Who could have predicted that AIVR, while potentially compelling in the long term, was, in the current form, just a fad, in 20242014?
A bunch of us did, but we were told we didn’t understand how truly revolutionary the technology was.
LLM AI is a fad, but not the same kind of fad as VR. It doesn’t need to be integrated into everything, but the technology has genuine utility and will not be going away.
I think the trend for “AI in everything” is stupid, yet I’m running a Vscode plugin that integrates local LLM models and it’s very useful.
This is the same sort of thing that can be useful in a browser too. The web is so spammy these days that feeding it to an LLM to summarize and filter it is a legitimate use case.
