So at this point new models seem to only care about one task, software development. This really was not the original pitch of ai and I do not see how it justifies the insane spend or valuations it has produced.
But, I think it’s also based on what they are being used for, most LLM users are still mainly SWEs or similar as I understand and there’s a ton of data to train them for coding.
My point is mainly that was never the pitch that got ai the hype it did and imo doesn't justify the valuations even if we all lose our jobs to ai. Because it no longer seems like they even think its making other jobs go away.
Same with those that use to improve marketing outcomes for SEO and such, now there are AI based reports with automatic improvements.
Finally on other domains you already have robots on supermarkets, fast food, and gas stations, where the customer does the work of the (now gone) employees without any kind of price reduction.
