The pre-scripted and repeated dialogue would almost surely not have those problems the LLM would.
Its important to remember that these LLMs are grievously power-hungry for what they do, so if they only trade one problem for another, you must also consider the loss of efficiency as yet another problem, even if its not always that big of one.
This massive new economic sector that is eclipsing the GDP of most nations combined in under 10 years, which is almost entirely subsidized by a combination of venture capital, which is being forced in to any product that involves electricity regardless of suitability, this industry and that loses money every time a user interacts with it (even the paying customers) is not a bubble?
Please, enlighten us on what you think an economic bubble is. A lot of us were around for the dotcom bubble; to say it was not one, when we were standing there watching the market rise into the stratosphere and come crashing down, is a bit much.
