This type of anti-AI article is as vacuous and insipid as the superficial hype pieces peddled by pro-AI influencers. Saying generative AI is inherently shit, that there is 0 future in it, that it’s not good at anything, that it hasn’t improved since GPT3, calling it all a con? Just launching insults at anyone working in tech? This is the same kind of person that would have poo-pooed the internet in the 90s, saying 64kbps mp3s sound like crap and to just stick to CDs, downloading a 144p video takes ages, and who would even trust a website enough to put their credit card number on it? All of those dotcoms are worthless and are going to be bankrupt in a year, and we’ll go back to mail order catalogs and fax machines in no time. Or worse, because they’re saying outright falsehoods that anyone who’s used Claude to generate a single python script can easily debunk. I get that the hype over AI is annoying, that people are trying to shoehorn the tech into places where it’s not ready for yet, that it doesn’t do everything the marketing says it can, but just reversing the claims and saying it can’t do anything is profoundly stupid. Especially when it’s accompanied by so much vitriolic hatred that makes the writer blind to reality.
