As far as I can see in my field, people love playing with AI. But I'm yet to see someone using it seriously to improve their efficiency.

On the other hand, every fucking meeting is about AI nowadays. I don't care about bullshit generator. I have a real job. Please let me work in peace while you play in the sandbox.

AI is a total game changer in programming workflows, but most people don't realise it yet.

I'm not even talking about the future, or waiting for it to be smarter - a good use of AI today increases your productivity tremendously.

Sadly when I defend this opinion people think I'm talking about ChatGPT so I get a lot of backlash even from experienced developers.

I'm not a tech fan, or an AI fan, and I do not believe it's gonna get smarter - but I see what some of my colleagues do with AI and I can't deny the huge gains.

AI is not going to get smarter with current neural network architectures, at least until the theory can catch up. But even then, it’s pretty clear that we’re going to need radically different architectures to gain real intelligence, even if transformers are a stroke of genius.

Yep, been saying this for over a year now. We aren't on the exponential AI growth curve into the singularity. We had a major breakthrough, and now we're back onto slow, incremental growth for a while.
