They aren't a solution to the problem today, but they've advanced quite a lot compared to when I first had this idea like three years ago, and lots of tech companies continue to dump massive amounts of money into advancing it even more.
I'm not saying LLMs (or whatever the next big thing after LLMs might be) are the whole solution though. They're just tools.
This is probably a dumb question, but I'm always out of the loop: What exactly did this guy (or kid? He looks like he could be in his teens) do to piss everyone off?
I try not to ask questions that could easily be Googled, but I'd rather not search for "big balls."
