>The topic is timely, and important enough not to ignore completely,
but it's emphatically not for me.
Sums up my feelings about AI. It’s possibly the third and final “big thing in tech” in my career, after the internet and cloud computing, but I just can’t get excited or interested in it.
With the previous paradigm shifts it was crystal clear to me how the technology was more likely than not to benefit humanity, and this motivated me to become an expert and evangelist.
I see no credible scenario for AI where this is true.
I do not find it useful immediately right now outside of busy work like "convert this simple class from Swift to Kotlin" or "change all these variables from snake case to camel case". But when you give it a harder task it's amazing when it works, but currently very frustrating when it fails.
To me it feels like the early internet. I can't find every single thing I'm looking for, but it's great when I can. I only expect it to get better, even if it's early days.
The future usefulness is plainly obvious to me and doesn't feel like a scam being pushed on me like anything related to the Blockchain.
