Right, there is a lot of insanity going on with this tech right now, and companies are doing nonsensical things with it. But the mania has to be separated from what the tech can actually do, and whether it's useful or not. Eventually the bubble will pop and a lot of this nonsense will go away with it. So, I'm not really worrying too much over that aspect.

In a way, I'm also lucky that it's not being pushed on me at work, and I can decide when and how to use it. Which makes a big difference of itself. I can very much understand how people who are mandate to use LLMs for everything and are then have their timelines for projects adjusted based on that would be very frustrated.

I've been mostly using DeepSeek and GLM, and my personal projects are open source, so I'm not to worried about the models getting fed my data.
