He's referring to specific uses of technology as in AI, not the summary headline The Grauniad used. That my nature excludes 99.99% of everything that goes boom at the moment.

You sound like the guy I just had to fire after blowing his toes off several times.

If you think you are obsolete or faster than anyone else with these tools then you only naive enough to have lost your objectivity to the marketing. I deal with real risk and failures from the output of ChatGPT which have serious financial consequences. The first victim is always the developer, then the tester.

At best, it is very good at ousting people who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a damn computer.

Yep. Everything is exactly two models away. It's the new fusion. Yet after $X billion expenditure I still have to argue with the finest turd squeezed out of the industry over simple things that a trained monkey could work out.

The whole thing is propped up on faith, hype and investment capital. Now I work in the latter and we're not impressed.

Edit: As for X, removing it from my existence was an improvement in mental health for sure.
