> What I do see is a boom in internal tools. It’s easy now to get something good enough for use by you, friends, colleagues etc. As it’s always been, developing an actual product is at least one order of magnitude more work. Maybe two. But both internal tools and full products are made one order of magnitude easier by AI. Whole products can be made by tiny teams. And that’s amazing for the world.

> Everything got one order of magnitude easier thanks to AI. No. Not at all. Many things maybe got easier but a lot of things got magnitudes harder. Maintaining bug bounty programs for example, or checking the authenticity and validity of written content on blogs. Calling LLMs are a huge win for humanity is incredibly naive given we dont know the long term effects these tools are having on creativity in online spaces, authenticity of user bases, etc etc.

  A thing doesn’t have to be universally good to be good.

    Obviously, but id refrain from calling something good without knowing the extend of its damage.

      Agreed. We don't know if AI is another asbestos or not, yet.
