Only Transformer based architectures are over.

It amazes me that everyone so fetishizes Transformer architectures that they cannot imagine alternative--when the alternative is obvious.

Lol pay the originating artists and copyright holders for training on their data. Stealing is game over, legally, so they are trying unsuccessfully to change the law.
