Pim DeWitte shared a viewpoint suggesting that if the industry had just called LLMs what they are—great idea generators and auto writers—instead of pushing the fear-based AGI narrative, the world would be better. He emphasized not overclaiming or drinking one's own Kool-Aid, noting that innovation is awesome on its own.
