The only money to be made in the LLM craze is data scraping, collection, filtering, collation and data set selling. When in a gold rush, don't dig, sell shovels. And AI needs a shit ton of shovels.
The only people making money are Nvidia, the third party data center operators and data brokers. Everyone else running and using the models are losing money. Even OpenAI, the biggest AI vendor, is running at a loss. Eventually the bubble will burst and data brokers will still have something to sell. In the mean time, the fastest way to increase model performance is by increasing the size, that means more data is needed to train them.
Or you could, you know, pay a person a living wage to be physically present at the store to assist shoppers and review the sales.
Or, hear me out. Maybe a 70% review requirement is not automation at all. Just saying.
