You need to consider that AI models are being layered together. LLMs are giving every other AI a method of human communication. You can then add a speech-to-text model over that LLM to add voice control, and text-to-speech to have the LLM talk aloud.
That means you can now use typing or voice as an interface into the computer. All the other cutting AI systems being developed (like autonomous vehicles, or the coming wave of humanoid robots being talked about in another thread) can now use those AI models above to fully communicate with humans bidirectionally.
Of course, there is a ton of market jubilance over certain names showing the how hyped it all is (ahem SMCI), but this is just the beginning of the AI Era. We’re still out the infra buildout stage. There is a LOT more to come in future directions for AI, as all new app layers and various directions in AI solidify into products & get deployed from here. This wave of LLMs is just the start.
