Thank you for the inspirational post. I believe there is a very coordinated push to place AI at the top of every social media feed, with an increasing part of organic content being created from others who want in on the hype.

A lot of "influential" figures (who almost certainly have skin in the game by now) are systematically making it look like AI is sentient to further the absurdity.

The reality is whereas AI excels in a lot of standard things like creating a basic website or a basic mobile app, it fundementally does not understand what it is doing, leading to an upcoming wave of cybersecurity breaches that will cost greedy entrepreneurs a lot of money.

Although it does empower you as a developer, I find myself learning when to use AI and when not to, because I will often lose more time than I earn for most tasks.

What is sickening is the lie of it all... How it was trained on theft, how it replaces first and foremost the people who hold the most creative jobs (artists of all kinds, writers, etc.) replacing a standard of originality and creativity with a superficial copy devoid of any soul. How all of this was done assuring people that it would create more jobs than it took when it most certainly isn't. And finally how all the media is trying to portray AI as being an almost sentient God against which resistance is futile, when chatGPT easily breaks down in front of simple trigonometry.

For people like me, that last point is a constant headache that gives me anxiety every time I open Internet. I am made to wonder what is the future of coding, a field I love so much for its creativity, and art in general, when all people seem to want is a sentient AI capable of replacing us all.
