Yeah, if you see it that way then I think we agree.

croes's point, I believe, about the astrology was that we know today that LLMs will produce bad results and that they can't be trusted. Yet the hype is sort of at a "Well, if we just give it more time maybe that problem goes away". Similar to how in astrology "if you just think about it right, the prediction was actually accurate".

That's where I see the parallels with 3d printing. There was a sort of "We can print anything with enough time!" even though by and large the only printable things were plastic toys.
