LLMs and performative productivity by @collinsworth

"... it would’ve just been faster to do the work myself in the first place—but by that point, of course, I was so deep in the hole it seemed easier to just keep digging.... #LLM usage inhibits cognition and understanding. When you outsource your chance to speak the language, you quickly develop cognitive debt.7 Studies also confirm a #code quality drop when using LLMs.."

"... A.I. feel like something of a Catch-22 for workers: If the technology succeeds in reshaping the economy, they could lose their jobs. If it fails to live up to the hype, their retirement savings could evaporate..."

#AI_Bubble

بين الحماس التكنولوجي والقلق الاقتصادي
يشهد العالم منذ عام 2023 طفرة غير مسبوقة في مجال الذكاء الاصطناعي التوليدي، الذي غيّر مشهد الاقتصاد الرقمي وأعاد تشكيل استراتيجيات الاستثمار العالمية. ‫فمن ChatGPT إلى‬ سباق شركات التكنولوجيا العملاقة مثل إنفيديا ومايكروسوفت وأوبن إيه آي وميتا وغوغل، تتدفق المليارات في هذا القطاع بوتيرة مذهلة.
لكن خلف هذا الزخم، ترتفع الأصوات المحذرة من تضخم استثماري قد يشبه فقاعة الإنترنت (Dot-com ‪Bubble) التي‬ هزّت الأسواق مطلع الألفية، وسط مخاوف من أن القيم السوقية الحالية لا تعكس الأداء المالي الحقيقي.

The #AI_bubble in full hype mode.

Information-rich article in the FT. Some revenue coming in, and investors get all wild and are willing to swallow the unfathomable capital demands. It seems to me that much of the revenue comes from the increased demand for cloud services, itself driven by AI demand. A product providing its own demand: a sure sign of a bubble.

AI-based infrastructure spending by the major players is $350 billion this year alone, another $400 next year. Those figures are beyond comprehension.

Heaven help us. I want this bubble to burst, and burst it will. But there will be repercussions when it happens. It won't be pretty.

AI bubble burst, hopefully coming soon. To be fair, "AI" (quotes because there is nothing artificial or intelligent about it, unless you think Markov chains are intelligent) code generation works for the most basic sort of routines. For most programmers this is but an incremental step above boiler plate code and with hallucinations or anything more complicated, all of us who do this for a living know; we are doing it ourselves. That leaves a few real use cases, low hanging fruit for non-important routines, rapid prototyping and chat bots. Where would "AI" be most useful? For those who need basic routines or functionality. Turns out, everyone can get something halfway working and in a very broken state but "looks usable" until it's time to actually put something into production. The only difference with this bubble is that it'll require full rewrites. Guess that could be a good thing though... #ai #ai_bubble #programming #code #opensource
