I keep asking, where are the works? Where is the software that does ten or twenty or a hundred times more? Where is the human needs that are ten or twenty or a hundred times better met?
Instead, we have the mandated code generators feeding uncomprehended text into integration pipelines hit testing for textual correctness without meaning, purpose or intent.
This is a machine that turns strings into waste heat. That's nearly all it is.
It is money on fire.

I still maintain that corporate management talking about AI productivity gains are like teenage boys talking about sex.

Peter Drucker once famously said that the only metrics that matter to a business come from outside the business.
A successful restaurant has some number of humans who've left fed and happy. A successful hospital takes in patients and healthy people walk out. Every internal number a business produces for itself might be informative or useful but does not ultimately matter.
Whenever I see companies spouting about their internal metrics like they're proud of them, I think, bluntly: who cares?

Indeed. If we run with the metaphor, I think it works: those who do…they have no idea just how •bad• it is, they’re being careless about the risks, and they either don’t know or don’t care how much they’re hurting people with their self-centered carelessness. And the rest? It’s just a bunch of self-pleasuring and tall tales assembled from grotesquely unrealistic videos they found online.
