As does software development; indeed at this point software development is very significantly dependent on LLMs. Plus, setting profit aside, half of Americans use them. And this is what I really struggle to understand: how people could imagine that a product with 50% adoption is unproven/marginal.

There's a pretty broad rejection of those kinds of statistics, with some combination of "they have to because their bosses make them" and "it's bundled into all of their apps"/"forced down their throats" and "it's free and used to make slop, which will stop when they have to pay".

And I mean, I'm not even averse to all of those arguments to some degree; that's part of why I think we need lots more models, and for them to be open and publicly-owned, etc.
