Well, like, if a company tried out some new robotics thing in one warehouse at a small scale in Q1, then in Q2 and Q3 scaled it up to most of that warehouse, and then in Q4 started work applying the same thing in another warehouse, and announced plans to apply to many warehouses, I think it’d be pretty fair to call this lasting adoption (of robotics, not LLMs, unless the robots use LLMs). On the other hand if they were stuck at the “small scale work trying to make a maybe-scalable PoC”, that doesn’t seem like lasting adoption, yet.
Judging this sort of thing would be a whole bunch of work, but it seems possible to do. (Of course, we can just wait.)
Agree, though I think, in the world we are in, we don’t happen to have that kind of convenient measurement, or at least not unambiguous ones. I might be wrong, people have come up with clever methodologies to measure things like this in the past that compelled me, but I don’t have an obvious dataset or context in mind where you could get a good answer (but also, to be clear, I haven’t thought that much about it).
