@Crell @timbray there's not a need to rehash something that most people reading/commenting on this thread already know. Everything that you listed also applies to many/most computing products available to consumers. I realize it's not on the same scale.

@timbray I've been skeptical for a while about LLM/AI stuff, but I'm seeing people actually accomplishing tasks that they would've had to have paid someone to do if they had the money. A non-dev friend developed an app that was a very complicated excel spreadsheet.

I don't like a lot of things about LLM/AI. The linked video (no c-suite execs)has pushed me over the edge into it's here to stay and it's useful. Sitting on the sidelines yelling at the clouds doesn't help.

@geerlingguy I always wondered about science fiction that depicted primitive environments that had advanced technology. Watching the enshittification of our technology ecosystems, it becomes a bit more evident of how that might happen.
