    This comment thread reads 100% like AI astroturfing. AI is not an amplifier, there’s literally no evidence from any study that’s been done that backs that. That’s just AI company marketing.

      The AI company marketing (and development) I see still seems to focus mostly on the “we can give a really non-specific prompt and get a functioning app out of thet” - which is missing the point for my uses of it.

      My company is very interested in leveraging the new tools where we can, but not laying anybody off (yet) - I think the target is hoping that our exploration time is being roughly balanced with increases in efficiency, which is more or less how we’re managing it for the past few months.

      “AI IS AMAZING AND INEVITABLE!!!” = astroturfing

      “AI sucks at X, but sometimes useful at Y… use with caution.” = astroturfing

      “AI SUCKS AT LITERALLY EVERY TASK!!! ITS ALL SLOP!!! SLOP SLOP SLOPPITTY SLOP!!!” = only organic discussion and reasonable take…

      Look, there are 100s of valid reasons why AI sucks and is unethical… in fact, it’s pretty much 100% built on unethical methods, no doubt…

      But “AI sucks at everything and literally has zero good use cases” is not a real argument, but it seems to be the most popular opinion around here.

      I disagree with 90% of the pro-AI stuff out there, i’m just pointing out that its rare to hear a reasonable discussin on the topic here that isnt just 100% hate
