It's hard to describe, but it's felt like LLMs have completely sucked the entire energy out of computer vision. Like... I know CVPR still happens and there's great research that comes out of it, but almost every single job posting in ML is about LLMs to do this and that to the detriment of computer vision.

It felt the same back in 2012-2015 when deep learning was flooding over computer vision. Yet 10 years later there is a net benefit for computer vision: a lot of tasks are now solved much better/more efficiently with deep learning including those that seemed "unfit" to deep learning like tracking.

I'm hopeful that VLMs will "fan out" into a lot of positive outcomes for computer vision.

That is fair. I think it is a case of just seeing a lot if great talent rush to the "in" thing. Other systems are still being developed and that isnt lost but there is just a feeling if being left out of it all while still doing great stuff.
