Where it might pan out* is clerical work. LLMs will never be able to do actual work unsupervised. But if you can fire 100+ laywers in favor of one guy who fixes the LLM's mistakes, then its probably profitable. Art, writing and creative works in general are a red herring. It's a promise to the masses that they'll be able to conjure whatever entertainment they want, meanwhile the company is working to rugpull them out of what social mobility still exists.

*and even then I can't imagine there won't be a massive bubble burst incoming. The current business model loses money. Fullstop. LLM doesn't seem a good fit for a consumer good.

And honestly for that use in particular it’s actually a pretty decent tool. Like, in a socialist system under common ownership that sounds like a good tool for reducing unnecessary human labor.

That’s not what we’re doing, to be clear, but I do appreciate when we can glimpse what actual use these things do have
