Can you say more?
What I'm getting at here is, if these claims are true, why don't we have an example? Take the articla above. It says "I can build a 30k per month bloomberg terminal in hours." I don't doubt the author's sincerity, but if that is true, where is it? Sell it for 10k a month.
Why does t anybody have an example? Could it be that AI gives people an illusion that they can do more with it than they really can? Does it maybe give us a sense that we can bite off way more than we could actually chew?
AI is an important new tool, or set of tools. I'm not arguing that it's not a big deal. I'm just asking: is there also some illusion here?
In 1997, if you asked if the hype about the consumer web was a delusional bubble, the correct answer was "yes." Everyone was very sure and very excited. "This is happening!" It was true that it was going to keep going and become huge, but the when and how were all wrong, or too vague.
I posted this question as an objective sanity check. Where's the beef?
If we're understandably a little drunk on this excitement, maybe that's fine, but we should be a little self-aware.
Know what I mean?
