We tend to think that markets reflect consumer choice. But the artificial-intelligence boom has been powered by the investment decisions of concentrated capital rather than by consumer demand.
In order for AI to have a market there would need to be a large scale demonstration of the uses and benefits of AI in many various industries, most of which do not involve image generation or writing a single line of computer code.
I’m so sick of asking people for demonstrations of AI use and it being 100% programmers going “oh it’s really good at writing functions”, now I have no idea if it is, or isn’t, any good at writing functions, but since I don’t write functions, that example is of no use to me.
I want to know how good it is at writing technical documentation for proprietary hardware solutions that the AI will have no experience of in its training set, because I suspect it sucks at it. How good is it at taking poorly written guides in Chinese, translated into English via Klingon and ancient Babylonian, how does it handle it if it comes across the sentence “absolutely do not ever warning” with no additional information as to what I absolutely should never not do. Because that’s when thinking is involved, and AI doesn’t think.
I get doing things because you can, that doesn’t mean it’s not wholly unsuited to the task and massive over kill that you only use because either 1. It’s self hosted so you are already paying for it or 2. It’s super cheap. You likely wouldn’t entertain such a set up if you were paying the true price for training and running the models.
It’s quite terrible at writing technical documentation of even systems of pure code it’s coded itself , it’s been all down hill since opus 4.6 for writing in any kind of coherent English to convey information .
The thing is so full of slogans, irrelevant counting , and meta commentary announcing what it’s going to say moronically, and weird AF corporate sleazeball speak, now it can rattle on for pages saying mere sentences worth of information .

You managed to set up that tech stack but needed an agent with unrestricted access to figure out the time was wrong 😂
There are skill issues and a lack of imagination here but it’s not from people dismissing the use of LLM…
