       | Yes, LLM's are useful and valuable, but no, they won't be
       | replacing major sections of the workforce any time soon. I don't
       | need an LLM in every facet of my operating system, just like I
       | didn't need Cortana integrated everywhere in Windows 8. And LLM's
       | are obviously not worth the billions upon billions that are being
       | invested currently.
