Personally I find quantum computers really impressive, and they havent been given its righteous hype.

I know they won't be something everyone has in their house but it will greatly improve some services.

The kind of LLM that caused this hype with GPT3 is in R&D since the 60's. I belive we're in the 70's of Quantum Coputing. When It'll be measured, it'd be just as easy and relatively cheep to produce and advance as AI today

QC is likely to remain the domain of liquid nitrogen-cooled machines for a long time to come, possibly forever. I can run a basic LLM on a Raspberry Pi--and I have--but it's highly unlikely QC will ever be that easy.
