We are processing same data for the last 2 years.

Inference prices droped like 90 percent in that time (a combination of cheaper models, implicit caching, service levels, different providers and other optimizations).

Quality went up. Quantity of results went up. Speed went up.

Service level that we provide to our clients went up massively and justfied better deals. Headcount went down.

What's not to like?

The decline of independent thoughts for one. As people become reliant on LLMs to do their thinking for them and solve all problems that they stumble upon, they become a shell of their previous self.

Sadly, this is already happening.

We'll need to do faux mental work like how we do faux labor work.

There is no decline. Human assets were always too expensive to process some additional information. We are simply processing lot more of low signal data.

Actually some of our analysts are empowered by the tools at their disposal. Their jobs are safe and necessary. Others were let go.

Clients are happy to get fuller picture of their universe, which drives more informed decissions . Everybody wins.

You are free to believe what you want, but what you describe does not match what I’ve seen from society as a whole. I’m just going to leave this here: https://www.media.mit.edu/projects/your-brain-on-chatgpt/ove...

Are you being satirical?

The headcount that went down probably isn’t too thrilled about it.

[chewz]

Yes, probably. But the others gained skills and tools that made their jobs secure.

Right but the question wasn’t were some people better off. It is what’s not to like?
