      The “journalist” credited’s bio literally says he is addicted to twitter as some kind of base of honor.

      They’re just trying to make AI sound successful, just like the overlords want them to.

        I am more inclined to think they just want ragebait articles and AI is a current easy target

        Yeah, these types of stories are advertisements directed at the landlord class. “Look, AI means fewer icky employees to have to put up with! At last, business without labor!”

          The one where every LLM-generated shell script I read is another deep splinter in my fingernail quick that I have to rip out and destroy because it’s a godfucked mess of bad practices that we can never ever ever ever EVER train out of an LLM at this point.

            I honestly do not understand the absolute blatant ignorance of this seeming dichotomy of nobody wants AI or LLMs and AI is replacing our jobs and LLMs are making everyone stupid.

              this seeming dichotomy

              The solution is that you are in a bubble. A lot of people like it :)

      Almost all companies deploying generative AI don’t see their revenue change significantly. AI is not the money maker people claimed it was going to be.

        AI is not the money maker people claimed it was going to be.

        When people make claims about what “AI” is going to do in the future they’re talking about Artificial General Intelligence - not Large Language Models.

          While I agree with you, its that very misunderstanding that bosses and owners have, and they’ll fire regular folks and replace with ai. They may suffer lower quality and even catastrophic failures but it will take time for them to realise and rehire people. All those regular folks will be out of work during that time.
