I have been a huge LLM sceptic, but after testing @MistralAI 's #LeChat this week (they get bonus points for sustainability, privacy and are EU based and regulated and not #UStech either), I'm starting to be seriously impressed - they have moved on a lot.
I can see why these tools are taking off for daily life.
@jburnmurdoch has an interesting piece on LLMs in general in the FT today too:

Social media is populist and polarising; AI may be the opposite

Large language models elevate expert consensus and moderate views, in sharp contrast to social platforms

I don't doubt that ML can be an extremely useful tool.
Autocomplete? Not so much.

Prof Hannah Fry did a three part series for the BBC a few weeks ago. I think it bears viewing if you get the chance.
