Has it?
I think there is this compulsion to think that LLMs are made for senior devs, and if devs are getting wary of LLMs, the experiment is over.
I'm not a programmer, my day job isn't tech, and the only people I know who express discontent with LLMs are a few of programmer friends I have. Which I get, but everyone else is using them gleefully for all manner of stuff. And now I am seeing the very first inklings of completely non-technical people making bespoke applets for themselves.
From OpenAI, programming is ~4% of chatGPTs usage. That's 96% being used for other stuff.
I don't see any realistic or grounded forecast that includes a diminishing demand for compute. We're still at the tip of adoption...
- Mistletoe 1y agoYou should get on Reddit, people hate AI with a passion there. People I meet in real life hate it also. I think the public actually hates AI more than it should now.
- chii 1y agoIt's a pretty biased sample. Not to mention that people who are neutral and is just using AI won't be bothered to comment. So you only ever see one extreme or another.
- arkmm 1y agoThe irony of this is so much of Reddit comments these days are AI generated.
- Workaccount2 1y agoI spent 13 years chronically on reddit before stumbling into a exit hatch of the bubble chamber. Those people (well really it's teens and college kids) live on reddit, they are so far from an accurate representation of reality its insane.
- transcriptase 1y agoWorse when you find out there’s a couple dozen of the same moderators running nearly all the top 500 subreddits.
- hnhg 1y agoThat makes some sense. Are they paid for this?
- GauntletWizard 1y agoBy reddit? No. By the users? No. But they are paid.
- KronisLV 1y agoYou’d like to substantiate that? I’d love to have someone pull the curtain back and learn by whom, if that’s the case.
- Workaccount2 1y agoI don't know about money, but they definitely get ego strokes.
- GauntletWizard 1y agoMany of them are using their subreddits for submarine promotion. Here's a public example: https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleWA/comments/547wxd/comment/d7zmfmo/ https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleWA/comments/547wxd/comment/d... There's much worse that's "pure speculation", because a few thousand unemployed losers that nonetheless have six figure incomes aren't suspicious at all. See the kerfuffle when the mod of r/antiwork went on Fox News, where several of the other power mods alluded to their true incomes and professions (they know what they are - PR people) when trying to boast about how they'd have done better.

- Sammi 1y agoI had to quit Reddit after a decade of heavy use because of the doomerism. It's a place you go if you want to kill your spirit. It's just not healthy.
- Fuzzwah 1y agoThe view I have is that people hate having AI slop spewed at them, but will find value in asking an LLM about things they're interested in / help with things.
- pessimizer 1y ago> From OpenAI, programming is ~4% of chatGPTs usage. That's 96% being used for other stuff. I think it's important to remember that a good bunch of this is going to be people using it as an artificial friend, which is not really productive. Really that's destructive, because in that time you could be creating a relationship with an actual person instead of a context soon to be deleted. But on the other hand, some people are using it as an artificial smart friend, asking it questions that they would be embarrassed to ask to other people, and learning. That could be a very good thing, but it's only as good as the people who own and tune the LLMs are. Sadly, they seem to be a bunch of oligarchs who are half sociopaths and half holy warriors. As for compute, people using it as an artificial friend are either going to have a low price ceiling, or in an even worse case scenario they are not and it's going to be like gambling addiction.
- baq 1y agoProductive or destructive, demand is there, so it isn’t late bubble. It’s still early. (Which is scary, I’ll readily admit.)
- pessimizer 1y agoBut demand isn't there (or rather, proven to be there.) Demand is measured in dollars, and right now VC is paying. This is peak bubble - farthest distance from valuation and income.
