as someone who has worked in the tech field for well over 20 years at this point this is going to be a very controversial prediction and I imagine many won't agree with me but LLMs, at least in their current state, will go the way of the buffalo.
I've seen many tech fads come and go, library fads, device fads, concept fads, product fads, etc, etc, etc. in their current states many companies are now realizing that AI isn't speeding up their processes or production. What they see now is that they're slowing things down and creating massive tech debt. "Vibe coding" simply doesn't work and anyone who does it consistently at any company should be immediately fired. Many places are now hiring contractors to fix their AI created tech debt and I see that as a sort of temporary field to get into for freelancers. Advertise your services to repair damage done by AI. You'll get work. I get emails weekly from my contacts looking for someone to go into a place and refactor or replace what someone has "vibe coded" or simply allowed an AI to go buck wild on their base.
I see it pivoting away from tech things and focusing back on content creation. writing scripts, blog posts, ads, producing images and films, etc. Writing code or solving tech issues it has, across the board, gotten worse at. But even I'm not so sure about the content creation or it being a "digital assistant" there's A LOT of push back from the average user and consumer right now that simply don't want it.
I'm probably one of the few people that believe this but I feel they've just gotten worse and worse and people are now starting to wake up and realize they're all collectively shit and a waste of time and resources.
