Are all these new LLM/AI features just bloat?

Question

We're still experiencing the explosion of AI into the mainstream - there are a myriad of LLM tools/features/integrations popping up.I use OpenAI's official chat & API - but nothing else. To those that are making use of new features in existing software, or picking up new tools: what are you using, and how has it affected your day-to-day?

Some implementations are bloat (especially LangChain), but in general the "AI can use tools" approach is not bloat.

No, its not bloat.A lot of it is experimentation that will be dead ends as useful techniques get proven and less useful ones filtered out, but that&rsquo;s normal with new technology and how the best approaches grt established.

It's too early to call it bloat. I think what's happening is that people are experimenting in all kinds of directions right now and only some of them will end up being useful long term.
