If you consider the cost of hiring a human professional to over using multimodal AI for something, its very realize literally thousands of dollars of value per chat.

Multiply that by many billions of chats per day.

Lawyers and other professionals charge a lot. So do artists, especially when you want to do a million revisions. LLMs hand it out for free, making many knowledge and art professions affordable and accessible to the masses.

Stable owners were upset when cars replaced horses, but you can't stop progress, especially when value proposition is undenyable.



I wonder what people will do, when they will realize that LLM lawyers produce insufficient results, but "suddenly" all cheap bottom rung lawyers are gone and switched professions.

As for the LLM "creative" content, have you seen it or read it? Well, same problem. After you will need a quality content, good luck finding some cheap creator. Pay full price for an experienced one and likely wait.

PS: I don't doubt that LLMs are here to stay. They will se a lot of usage and pervade all industries. It's just that future will be pretty shit. Talking on phone with LLMs, reading LLM slop, seeing LLM lop everywhere, receiving generated emails and using LLMs to reverse parse them to search for an actual content, major economy downturn, rapidly slowing salary growth (not that it was big before), etc.
