So you'll have a beautifully designed system with rotting bones? A system constrained to the same patterns seen in training data. Not terrible, good enough.
I don't know, I don't doubt you're more productive. Broadly so. But the depth and rigor I think may be missing, as the article suggests.
As an aside, I suppose it's a good time for those nearing the end of their careers, those who no longer need to learn, to cash out and go all in on AI.
This sets off marketing BS alarm bells. All the cosignatories so very ovvoously have a vested interest in AI stocks / sentiment. Perhaps not the Linux foundation, although (I think) they rely on corporate donations to some extent.
Who really knows _that_ much about anything though? Few people are experts in a given topic. Although I see your point, I suppose more people would be good to recognise that, especially about themselves.
That said, this is a fairly general forum and (mostly) for entertainment purposes right?
Employers get prestige (useful for the hiring funnel) and sometimes strategically disrupt competitors (e.g. Meta releasing Ollama)
