AI is a very generic term and people should stop using it synonymously with LLM which is a very specific thing.
LLMs have the hallucination problem, and that is a fundamental aspect of the technology that makes it unfit for many of the purposes that are driving investment.
If I’m somehow wrong and LLM based tools actually become useful, I can learn them then. “Use shitty tools or you’ll get left behind!” Is a completely stupid argument - “skills” in using a shitty tool probably won’t transfer to using this hypothetical good tool anyway.
And just to reiterate, the argument of “the internet/smart phones/whatever was revolutionary so this is too”, even though so far all we really have is “some ok sometimes coding tools”, “search that lies sometimes”, “summary that lies sometimes” is completely stupid. There are plenty of technologies that didn’t become part of our daily lives as well…

You know that technology doesn’t actually get better by default, right? It reaches plateaus. Some things are just dead ends.
Have you bought any bubble memory recently?
