Is anyone actually claiming this?
- lelandbatey 1y agoNot directly, but indirectly. It's what's leading to the FOMO w.r.t. investors. See the image in the parent blog post, where VCs are directly comparing the amount of money spent on AI at the moment (tiny) against the amount of money spent on headcount in various industries, with the implication being that "AI could be making all the money that was being spent on headcount, what an opportunity!"
- mathw 1y agoThe author claims so, but there don't seem to be any sources. Given how the AI hype has been going though I wouldn't be at all surprised. And the article's following conclusions are also unsurprising (other than the bit where it claims AI can actually replace your software engineers)
