Thanks for citing sources, PP.

That is a good article.  Some of the findings reblogged come from "The Information". That's a paid subscription digital news site run by really good tech reporters who came from the familiar old media backgrounds we all know (NYT, etc.).  I paid to read it at a former job ($300ish per year).  Paying being the proof of quality.

I am in a corporate F500 role.  I am seeing the attempts to make AI do work and therefore save money somehow.  I watched the rise of the Internet for regular home and work use.  All of the white collar jobs that I've had could have been done pretty well before the Internet's wide adoption and still exist today.  Despite the fact that the Internet has definitely been transformative.

When you have to work with/experience the  stumbling of automated systems, it feels a lot different than the hype.  Think of the analogy of working with a chatbot when you have a question more sophisticated than what would show up in a FAQ.

The PP (on this thread or a similar recent one) who said AI coding is unnecessarily complex...cheaper to produce but expensive to maintain...had some interesting points.  I will be interested to see how this plays out.[/quote]
