Yes, quite a few people believe AI is a big scam and it’s not actually good for anything.
I know this might seem crazy to software developers who handed all their dev work over to Claude 6 months ago. But most people are not software developers.
I think a lot of software developers are convinced it must be transforming other jobs and it really isn’t and may never to the same extent. LLMs are just particularly good for technical writing and code.
But that is the potential issue. It is valued as it will and that just isn’t proven.
I have also seen this from many SWE and hobbyist programmers as well, actually, as not all workplaces have AI mandates.
Those people usually bury their head in the sand and have such strong opinions about the capability of these models as they haven't ever used anything but the free tier chatbots, if any at all.
