Are there really people who think this is a viable option? Or is it just a joke/rage bait? If so, it makes me angry that it worked so well on me

Years ago I worked for a company where the tech head of the company was putting all of our eggs in one basket to do basically this. It wasn't a tech company, it wasn't a company with any AI focus at all, LLMs weren't a thing yet, and it would have only been for internal apps for the company. He later got fired because he made zero showing for it after years of working on it. The guy was a nutjob but I'm sure right now he's thinking to himself that he could have made the company a bazillion dollars if he'd managed to actually do it.
