    Yeah and that is largely fueled by two things; poor/forced use of AI, and anti-AI media sentiment (which is in turn fueled by reactionary/emotional narratives that keep hitting headlines, commonly full of ignorance)

    AI can still provide actual value right now and can still improve. No it’s not the end-all but it doesn’t have to solve humanity’s problems to be worth using.

    This unfortunate situation is largely a result of the rush to market because that’s the world we live in these days. Nobody gives a fuck about completing a product they only care about completing it first, fuck quality that can come later. As a sr software engineer myself I see it all too often in the companies I’ve worked for. AI was heralded as christ’s second coming that will magically do all of this stuff while still in relative infancy, ensuring that an immature product was rushed out the door and applied to everything possible. That’s how we got here, and my first statement is where we are now.
