I didn’t say they are “all hype”, I said they are “all the hype”. I agree they are useful, but over hyped.

LLMs are all the hype but there are plenty of solid computer science projects. Some options that come to mind:

1. Your own DB engine
2. Your own game engine (you can put a cool twist on it - I had a thought of making a game in non-euclidean 3D space)

A more general option is to look for free APIs and use that is base for ideas.

What topics do you find interesting?
