Blog posts like this just blow me away.

Honestly, isn't this just influencer spam? What possible value is there in reading about people who used to have products, but no longer write their own code, complaining about the inscrutable prediction machine they have handed that job and their livelihoods to?

Like, if you have complaints about the thing, perhaps you should address them to your supplier directly. None of your readers can help, and nobody's magic folk solution to your problem is better than yours.

And there are so many of these sorts of posts. Are we not entirely cooked?

(I think I have concluded that if people writing about AI aren't writing about interesting things they have achieved with small, local LLMs — which for clarity I am fully interested in reading - then I'm done reading. This whole blogging-about-cloud-AI genre is just weird and irresponsible now)
