I was formerly a machine learning engineer. I think this is a big bubble. These are glorified autocorrection models that cost lots of money to run. LLMs are a massive leap for programmer productivity, but they are only an augmentation and a tool for the best builders. It still takes someone with skill and creativity to build a great product. As for other use cases, if you can be replaced by a New York Times emulating essay machine, perhaps you should expand your set of skills. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHHT6W-N0ak

Appreciate that you called yourself this (rather than use the term 'AI'), and appreciate your informed perspective.
I believe that machine learning is a powerful technology and will have extensive applications. But I am an 'artificial intelligence' sceptic, as while I do believe that machines can learn, I don't think they can ever develop intelligence, or consciousness, or understanding.
