Where Tim O'Reilly sees almost only opportunities, with optimism, I see many unwanted side effects, with pessimism. I think I'd prefer a more skeptical analysis.

Now the point I disagree most vehemently is when he speaks of AI tools in counterpoint to traditional programming tools: “one that can write poetry but struggles with basic arithmetic, another that calculates flawlessly but lacks creativity.”

No! LLMs can't write decent poetry and don't have creativity, it's basically a stochastic-based plagiarism machine!
