Comment on AI Is Slowing Down
IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.wtf 1 week agoWell there you go. Another argument in support of AI being not nearly as big of a deal as the fanboys would have people believe.
If you blame the users (e.g. Steve Job’s “you’re holding it wrong”) it rarely ends well.

Depends on what you mean by “fanboys”. No, the hype isn’t as real as these rich assholes make it out to be. LLMs aren’t going to replace all human workforce everywhere ever, like some of these techbro dipshits quickly find out.
But, I’m still going to use technology that produce a tool in two minutes what would have normally taken me two hours to do. Sure, I have to code review it, but that doesn’t take nearly as long as the work itself.

I heard someone describe LLMs as useful in the context of being handy plugins which tallies with what you’re saying. In certain situations they’re useful. The problem is that they’re being completely misrepresented and sold as being able to do things that they can’t do consistently or well so the hype and astronomical sums of money being thrown around is problematic.
