Buried in the replies, Eugen later admits "I have never used AI in my professional or personal life."
And there you have it. A completely uninformed opinion, framed as if it's from a position of experience and authority. In reality, he has no idea what's going on at the frontier.
Not only does the truth reveal a lack of experience, it also reveals a deep bias.
I get tired of arguing with people like this. They've been gatekeeping software for decades, and now there's a lot of fragile egos.
"AI" is a failed technology, in the sense that it's neither fit for purpose, nor a likely path to its stated end goal of "AGI", but a lot of people's profits currently depend on pretending it's not. I am curious to see how long the hype will last once the Nvidia ouroboros ends and money stops being pumped into marketing.
@null Admit? I am proud of it. Also, I learned how to program when I was 14 off of online tutorials. What's your excuse for being "gatekept"?
