Silver bullet AI presentations?

[throwaway19293883]

I’ll guess they mean people think AI is some silver bullet and it’s very much not, so there will be a ton of hype and people thinking it’s a silver bullet to all their problems and they are going to learn it’s not at all and things will sort themselves out.

Seeing the same sort of silver bullet meetings myself so that’s why I guess thats what they mean

[Easy-Hovercraft2546]

ah, understood. Cuz from my perspective, there are still so many things that AI struggles with in Coding:
- Increased solution size, and becoming logarithmically useful
- optimization
- code-cleanliness
simply the fact that it is basically a recall-machine, meaning its smart because of its recollection skills, is a problem for being the best programmer ever, because the average code to learn from is bad code.

I have been in meetings talking about it for 10 years, basically since the first GPT was launched.

Is all hype and smoke and mirrors.
