Linus being generous - it however is actually 99% marketing, one percent reality.

- The text output generated by LLMs is immediately recognisable, is not reliable enough that you hand it over writing wikis on any legal, technical or financial aspect.

- Code examples generated by LLMs CANNOT work without supervision and review of an experienced engineer.

- Outputs of various image models and their generated artwork is immediately recognisable no matter if it is in YouTube thumbnails or blog posts. For any serious work, you need a human designer to design the marketing websites etc or you are guaranteed to be not taken seriously by anyone.

Upside of this AI spring (after a long winter) are mostly in text to speech and speech to text which are not perfect but very useful in many domains.

My experience as someone who also hates the hype cycle is that I forced myself to try it to generate code despite being deeply skeptical. I havent had a single good experience, meaning getting the code that does the thing I want.

I've also tried leetcode exercises and also failed here. And that's what surprised me the most - surely if anything it should be able to get right publicly available questions with publicly available solutions? I don't get it.

Once I asked it for a name of people, and I asked it to format it as an html table and it did that right which was nice...

While the code generated by AI is generally garbage, I would note that it often has better-than-human debugging ability. If you copy-paste a function that isn't working, it can often figure out what you were trying to do and then explain what you are doing wrong and how to fix it.

That is the point..

AI is a useful tool for many professionals to have on their toolkit..

But it is not even close to replacing those professionals like many have being claiming..
