Yep.
Man can we just get this hype phase over with? Its very obvious to anyone who truly has "general intelligence" in understanding the nature of the economy and the present labour market and its job classes that LLMs are not going to cause job destruction nor immense leaps in productivity.
To put it another way - who cares if you can write more lines of code - if your taste for project selection lacks? Google has an expansive grave yard for a reason.
I'm not sure what the rhetorical gamble of "anyone with sense agrees with me" is called, but it's lazy. Maybe a no true Scotsman? I believe I have general intelligence and it's not at all obvious to me.
Putting your hopes on taste is cope. At best AI will just let you brute force 1000 projects to discover the delicious ones.
You’re trying to analytically argue away an emotion (depression), which means you’ve automatically lost.
Seriously, read the fucking room (and comment thread) before charging in with a holier-than-thou argumentative attitude.
