Generative AI: Beyond the Hype

Generative AI — like LLMs — look and feel like magic. But they aren't a 'product'. And by themselves, they aren't going to disrupt anything. They are just a technology. And while this might feel like a nuance to many people, it's an important distinction.
 
LLMs need to be added into an existing product, or a new product needs to be built around them. It can power 80% of the product or 10%. But that product still needs to achieve product market fit, solve a genuine problem that people are willing to pay to be solved.
 
The same thing happened with the internet:
 
  1. Good Internet Businesses: Where the power of the web unlocked huge new markets and capabilities.
  1. Bad Internet Companies: Trying to make a quick buck, ignoring the laws of business physics, with no product market fit in sight.
 
As always, Benedict Evans sums this up nicely in his latest report, "The AI summer".
