"Built to do my art and writing so I can do my laundry and dishes" -- Embodied agents is where the real value is. The chatbots are just fancy tech demos that folks started selling because people were buying.

Eh, my best coworker is an LLM. Full of shit, like the rest of them, but always available and willing to help out.

Compare it to the microwave. Is it good at something, yes. But if you shoot your fucking turkey in it at Thanksgiving and expect good results, you're ignorant of how it works. Most people are expecting language models to do shit that aren't meant to. Most of it isn't new technology but old tech that people slapped a label on as well. I wasn't playing Soul Caliber on the Dreamcast against AI openents... Yet now they are called AI opponents with no requirements to be different. GoldenEye on N64 was man VS AI. Madden 1995... AI. "Where did this AI boom come from!"

Marketing and mislabeling. Online classes, call it AI. Photo editors, call it AI.
