Not saying people should read the article, but it's a short one and hides some nuanced points behind an ambiguous title. Probably intentional. I liked how it showed plenty of examples of scaleups getting egg-faced after overpromising AI capabilities. LLMs are useful, but still too costly to run and too error-prone to be let loose on anything mission-critical. I use these tools daily, but that doesn't mean I want AI rammed down my throat at every turn.
A few of my favorite tech authors and OSS contributors have gone full AI-parrot mode lately. Everything they post is either "how they use AI," "how amazing it is," or "how much it sucks." I think a bunch of us have had enough and just want to move on. But try saying anything even slightly critical about AI, or about how the big companies are forcing it into everything in the name of “progress,” and suddenly you're a Luddite.
I'm just glad more folks in the trenches are tired of the noise too and are starting to call it out.
