It’s all about signaling and posturing to Wall Street. To this date, I’ve not encountered any user that said: “I have a need for this, how much does it cost?”, kinda like how you would buy a software license. Instead it’s sold like a street drug “Wanna try? The first’s on me” Except that is not good and the user doesn’t get addicted and now, they’re trespassing onto people’s space.

Every comment that seems pro AI either falls in “I’m playing with it now and it’s a nice toy” or “It’s very useful for me, I can’t tell you how, but trust me that it is”.

Yes, people steal ideas and sell as their own. That is actually happening. Communities share less publicly, but if you know how to poke, you can find a gem or two. Anybody actually productive with LLMs just doesn't want to invest energy to fight the unwinnable mob mentality. I don't remember any time in my career, where you got such a backlash for using a tech.

One example of a an absolute gem is this: https://youtu.be/vlD8CXr20OI?si=J2A5nrqjkFCqU_6R

Had I been still working with computer graphics, this would've been a true game changer. You can see how little views this video has. There is however a whole subreddit dedicated to sell this exact workflow (and even only the first node). There's a similar story with programming, but people are disincentived to share that. Github Copilot has potential, but seems abandoned already and I find it very odd, because it's the one product with actual substance

Here's another potential example

Could be a dud, but I'd ask the person about details and perhaps it's a good use case

That sounds a bit like shareware
