I feel like LLMs are inextricably tied to topics like politics which fuels the exhaustion and fatigue. There is also the general pessimism around technology and overvaluation. I see billboards advertising out in the world mentioning some AI service with a bland catchphrase and I'm already thinking, "no more." It's like someone having to consume an entire buffet by themselves. I have never thought about any other type of technology this way before, not even crypto. The word that comes to mind is "Ouroboros".

Maybe it is a coincidence with recent global events also causing an influx of globally broadcast textual information, but this may not bode well for any future advancements in technology that only make certain activities more efficient than they already are. How will this sentiment about technology change in a year? In five?
