LLMs remind me a lot of spellcheck and diffusion image generation models remind me of clip art. Clip art seemed like a pretty big deal in the 90s, and slowly seemed to go away, though I'm not sure why. Maybe it was the rise of Photoshop and Indesign editing tools.
Either way, I definitely love hate the ChatGPT flyers. They will at some point be looked back on as a dated ugly format, and later as a curiosity and finally someone will collect and save them years from now.

Same, and these fliers remind me of my early school years where the RISC OS machines' word processor was used to put every font into the letters for parents.
(My recollection as that clipart started to fade away around the same time broadband replaced dialup, so I imagine it was just replaced by Google image search).
