There's one important difference: Automation worked and was affordable. Whether slop generation by LLMs is a useful instance of automation and how any productivity achieved stacks up against real, non-subsidized costs is currently a matter of (highly propagandized) opinion at best.
- bcjdjsndon 5mo ago> Automation worked and was affordable. Steam engines weren't affordable to the average person when they were invented. Same as ai And like steam, AI does some types of work quicker and easier than was previously possible. Ai produces slop no doubt, but at the very minimum I can safely say it's here to stay for agentic coding, and I suspect it's the same for quite a few other industries as well. I won't lose my job to an AI agent, but I will lose to it to a human using an AI agent. That's technology,deal with it
