The number of competent experts who are impressed by an LLM wielded in their specified field, is as vanishingly infinitesimal as legitimate and justifiable invocations of the term ‘AI’.
Those who have expressed the greatest enthusiasm for ‘AI’ are typically the farthest removed from actual, nuanced comprehension.
It’s a grift economy built on statistically luke-warm, vibe lobotomised corpses.
Problem is the targe is not the competent experts, but the managers of the competent experts, who have basically eternally been inherently skeptical of those experts and looking for the flimsiest hope to discard them.
Many of the best and most important people let themselves be subordinate to some idiots.
Not pertinent to AI, but just had one of these ‘leaders’ laying out how some project was going to go and why we didn’t even need to bother with any contingencies and that folks would be wasting their time. Every one with a whiff of experience knows these projects don’t go as described 90% of the time, and prepping the usual contingencies is less than an hour as long as you just plan to do it in advance. However, the very expensive partner service says they have it in hand, and despite this same partner boffing the last 6 of these in a row, the idiot still has absolute confidence in them…
In short, these guys get put in charge and are idiots and folks let them stay “in charge” because they don’t have the will to fight it.
