In case of OpenAI, Microsoft and Google, the whole shtick is "convince everyone that LLMs — which only gigantic companies can train and maintain — are somehow awesome and inevitable, scare lawmakers with 'superintelligence explosion' into regulating competition away, corner the market".
It's neither awesome nor inevitable.

@e10c41d2 @7518be2f Thing is that LLMs are actually pretty good at some things. I've been using Bing Copilot for searching rather than Google for quite a few things, and it works really well when you want to ask a question and then refine it or do follow-ups (and it provides reference links for everything, which is very important). But that's not creative – and LLMs are just baaaad at creative work.
