My lived experience is entirely reversed/different to your thesis.
x10 is absolutely real (IMHO likely understated).The loudest voices of Butlerian Jihadists are ideologues who either have never used AI
Or have briefly used it a 👉long time ago👈 as a Luna Park attraction, not for anything productive.
It's the fastest developing tech in human history.
And once they get to #RSI , we are into the Black Swan country.Do not confuse virgins talking about how awful sex is
With how much actual fun it is.Edit; From what I skimmed her methodology, she interviewed authors whose papers were rejected? That's like asking high school dropouts to explain the exam they failed.

I happen to know that this is man is quite conservative in a lot of ways. He's steeped in the Foxosphere to a degree that alarms his relatives. I know he was a huge Trump supporter the first time around, and I'm pretty sure he was this time too.
And even stewing in those juices, even •he• is just ready to see the world change for the better for trans people.
I know with all of the horrifying backsliding we've seen these last few years, it feels like there's no hope for trans people. And…yeah, these really are dire, dire times. Dire. It is •horrifying• what's been coming to the political surface. But damnit…beneath the surface, the tectonic plates are moving. Despair, rage, lament, yes…but do not give up hope.

I went out on a limb a bit. I talked about how in the course of teaching college I'd known several students through the course of their transition, before and after — and in every one of those cases, it felt like a weight had lifted, like there was this feeling of “Ah!! •That’s• who you are!” Like when they cleaned the Sistine Chapel, when they lifted this layer of grime away, and suddenly there were all these incredible colors.
He grabbed my hand with both of his, looked me straight in the eye, and said with sudden earnestness, “Paul, I agree •completely•.”

I think I need to share an experience I just had recently.
I was talking with an elder, in his mid-80s. He was showing me pictures, and showed me his wife’s “grandson” — cue photo of a stunningly fashionable young woman, wow does she know how to dress — “except he's trans, he did his trans-…he transitioned…”
ME: Does your grandkid use “she” pronouns now?
HIM: Yes!
ME: So she's your granddaughter now, I think?
HIM: Yes!!
And he switched to using she/her and did not switch back for the rest of the conversation.
There's more…

Even the systems that survive the slop onslaught are going to become a whole lot more costly, because review and verification is so costly. FOSS is buckling under this weight. So is academic publishing. So is web search and electronic messaging (bc farming and phishing).
Productivity boost? Turbo speed?? 10x??? Feh. What I'm seeing right now is a massive hit to efficiency.

Many (including me) have noted that the •efficacy• of a whole lot of our systems rests on trust, and people breaching trust by Doing Dumb Shit With LLMs They Clearly Should Not Be Doing are undermining those systems.
I'll add that the •efficiency• of a lot of our systems depends on trust, too. If someone wrote an academic paper or wrote some code, well, it used to be pretty obvious if they didn't think about it at all: knowing how to write something that •sounds• like a paper is at least a partial smoke test for actually knowing how to •think• about the paper. No longer so. Now it takes real time.

❝Most journals and conferences require authors to ensure correctness and integrity of their papers and take responsibility for them. This is particularly relevant given potential AI generated or heavily AI-assisted submissions. When authors could not answer questions about the technical parts, and sometimes even basic questions about the paper, it is difficult to see how they could have verified the paper’s contents.❞
