We could remove 100% of world AI supply and humanity would not be worse off. It is still additive and in areas of generally indeterminate value except in hype.

Reasoning and RAG is amazing already and is a productivity gain but I'm yet to be convinced GenAI is anything but a slop machine.

I half agree, but I'd still had software development to the list.

AI is useful as a search & information synthesis tool, and as a dev tool.

The problem is, when has a dev tool ever command such ridiculous valuations and investment in infrastructure?

The market is going to realize that yes, it's useful, but no, it's not over $1T useful.

> dev tool

do you expect people to quit research for some reason?
