LLMs are just mimics. Imagine a parrot that has learned all the words of all languages on the internet: that is an LLM. They can mimic human speech with no idea of meaning. The I in AI depends entirely on the intelligence of the human user.

In every gold rush, the tool makers get rich, but not the miners. Nvidia is a tool maker, building data centers drives their business. The "miners" are the LLM makers that are earning almost nothing while borrowing billions. Companies like OpenAI will be the miners.
