My sense is that Big Tech is increasingly realizing that they've bought into a gigantic fail with LLM generative AI systems, but they don't dare admit it because they realize they could instantly tank the stock market and their own firms. So they just keep playing along as if everything is great, and desperately hope that something will happen to save them before they roll right off the cliff and straight into Hell, dragging the rest of us along too. Though they don't care about that last part.

OpenAI is gonna get desperate and the “innovation” is gonna be to insert advertising into the model, to the point where you can’t tell it’s advertising.

That’s how we get to “it’s what plants crave.”
