This is so, but LLM’s are the only most visible public facing ones and they’re the dumbshit technology that every company on Earth is now trying to shoehorn into every product. They’re what people see, interact with, and get pissed off by.
Learning neural nets are good for various specific types of pattern recognition tasks, but trying to be an electronic butler who answers your questions ain’t one of them and it never will be.
They aren’t at all. Mixamo uses AI to generate animated skeleton models that follow dance videos. Photoshop has “generative fill”, plenty of AI is public facing and used constantly besides LLMs. Many of these things have sped up workflows to a tremendous degree. One of my favorite music programs can use AI in order to replicate certain harmonics for instruments which would have taken me hours by hand before.
The audio side is incredible. I can basically sample the nonlinearities of audio gear that would usually cost fuck loads to own a rack of. It’s limited still but it really injects that grit you want from certain gear that algorithms can’t touch
Well, okay, they’re the mainly public facing ones. Gemini, GPT, Copilot, whatever the hell Musk’s one is, Grok? All of that bullshit is just LLM’s, the ones nobody asked for and nobody wants. That’s what everyone is complaining about.
You’re right that some AIs are useful, but we are literally flooded with “scam as a service” web sites that sell LLMs, and they are hyped by people who can’t code or do anything useful in life who tell us that we are gatekeeping knowledge, and those people would be very happy if we were all unemployed.
I really wish people would understand that “AI” isn’t just LLMs.

A fair point but the hypetrain isn’t done running people over yet.
