I use LLMs every single day, for hours. Iw as suuuuuuper into VR in early-mid 2010s but even that didn't see that much adoption among my peers, whereas everyone is using LLMs.
And NFTs was always perceived as a scam, same as the breathless blockchain no sense.
LLMs have many many issues, but I think they stick out as different to the other examples.
And NFTs had a lot of loud detractors.
And everyone complained about a million other solutions that did not go anywhere.
Still, a bunch of investors made a lot of money on VR and very much so on NFT. Investments being good is not an indicator of anything being useful.
