@sil The thing is, AI might have some benefits, it might be useful, but it will NEVER live up to the investment hype. The yearly investment into AI only a little less than the entire spend on software engineering. In order for AI to pay for itself, next year, every software developer is unemployed. Not "vibe coding"...unemployed. Mangers just say to chat gpt "make MS word" and then a product is launched some minutes later.
This is magical thinking, it will not happen. But this is what these VCs have bought into...so...when it doesn't happen, someone is going to be left holding the 1.5 trillion dollar bag.
