On: How accurate have Ed Zitron's AI skeptic predictions been?

[yousif_123123]

I think when cornered, he does say it works for coding and some other tasks. But to be honest it also makes a lot of bugs when writing code.

I don't agree with everything he thinks, but I think I agree with him more than I do Sam Altman or Jensen.

I’d be interested in a real accounting of what he said, rather than what people say they’ve heard.

If he says AI is changing work in some places but not-at-all in most… that’s defensible. Or at least we can look at that. Did he say it about the llm offerings from one or two providers or about (broad gesture) all AI efforts, everywhere? Etc.

Certainly it’s changing sw development work. It’s less clear, most everywhere else.
