Because I’m seeing more and more each day people once considered experts now on the same level as an untrained person who knows how to type. And I’m really hoping LLMs reach a tipping point because otherwise, you’re just adding another nauseating element to the rat race.

I’m no stranger to the “adapt or get left behind” comments, and it’s very funny when people tell me this but can no longer tell me how a for loop works or what constitutes an outer join.

lol hate to say it but this shithole needs to humbled by an act of war that brings down the power grid, capitalist realism is quickly turning into economic and technological realism (if it hasn’t already).

I don't think it will have any particularly interesting or consequential impact really. It's not really having any impact except giving marketers some new favourite words at the moment, and I don't foresee that changing, until consumers become tired of it and it stops being profitable to say your product contains some vacuous "AI", and then we all forget about it, is my prediction. LLMs would likely persist as just a fun toy some people like to use, occasionally used as a search engine with better comprehension of human grammar, and occasionally used by students to cheat on assignments, but not used for anything super serious or plastered over every ad for a tech product.
