A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

LLM's are just as revolutionary as Automated Assembly Lines were. (lemm.ee)

Way late edit here, I agree with the disapproval of my statement. I was thinking about how LLM's kind of work the same way. Designed by humans to make something humans can already do but thousands of times faster. However "revolutionary" was very much the wrong word choice.

While right now that may not be the case, but as someone who looked into the topic I can definitely say that it has similar potential. It's just that a lot of companies just duct-tape AI onto their product and the result they get is usually shitty. But if you ignore all those "projects" that are obviously meant to fail, there are some promising projects and applications for AI that are actually made by people who understand what they are doing, the limitations and the upsides of the technology and they may just make products that are indeed useful.

Sorry for the undecipherable wall of text, it's early in the morning for me.
