> can accelerate in adding new features to their products
If anything AI helps companies escape the "feature wheel" that is used to justify exorbitant costs, while providing debatable (and often even negative) utility to the end user.
Keep in mind, Excel '98 would still probably be overkill for 85% of people's needs in 2025.
What companies thought was adding more utility, was actually just continually stacking costs in front of getting to that core functionality.
AI replaces the core functionality, and the "feature" scheme collapses...
- laurentiurad 9mo ago“Overkill for 85% of people” is a vibes statistic, not an argument. Also you're generalizing some things to the whole sector like every software provider now is useless and the new features they add are not bringing any values. How can you make such generic statements about a sector that is so diverse? I start to suspect some of you are just private-equity-sponsored accounts trying to push Anthropic propaganda over the Internet.
