The appeal of large language models in the computing community

The author of the note claims on 18 September 2026 that today no computer scientist finds large language models interesting is like a geneticist finding the newly opened Jurassic Park uninteresting. The main focus is the computing community and, more broadly, research in artificial intelligence, especially large language models (LLMs) and generative AI. The wording emphasizes that LLMs currently receive strong attention in research, industrial applications, and public discourse. This is important because the rapid development of LLMs affects research directions, training programs, investments, and labor market expectations. The analogy highlights the urgency of exploring opportunities and risks, and that ignoring them could be a professional oversight. Although the brief note does not provide specific financial or performance data, it signals the technology’s move to the cultural and scientific center. Consequences may include intensified regulatory debates, ethical guidelines, and industrial investment. The approach neutrally yet strikingly encourages professional dialogue.
