I don't really see the problem here. We're all getting laid off because AI I superior to us. I can now do the job of a product owner or even exceed it by simply prompting with some nuance, magic spells and bit of salt and pepper.

But down the road the AI bros promise us that this will reduce inequality and make human society better, somehow.

I really need to understand this shit and if anyone can weigh in on it I'd be most grateful. We will all eventually get replaced by AI and yet we need to pay Big AI to stay in the game. Even when nobody has any income.

I'm sure that there is someone here who can smack down this comment and put me in my place and give me a good and proper lesson in economics.

I'm not so sure "ai" (LLMs) is superior to us. LLMs are actually incapable of being superior, maybe some years down the road some new tech makes my statement mute, but today is not that today.

It's simple. AI companies don't have a long term plan besides "sell AI" and "reduce labor costs with AI". Any promises made outside of that are simply them saying whatever they think will help to sell AI.

Lmao what on earth is this crap.

Perhaps you software engineers are in a bubble - people I know from accountants, portfolio managers to mechanical engineers are barely using AI - they use it more to tell jokes.

It is going to make human society better. And it already is doing it.

The problem is neither you nor me are a part of the society. The AI bros are.

I love this comment. Yeah. "their" society is succeeding and we're in a fish tank. It's really like that.

Thank you.

It's a big club and you ain't in it. (C)
