These posts are so tiring. The statement is an outright and blatant lie, because it's grift. The grifter wants to silence dissent by rendering it "non-existent", so that the grift can take the position of being a foregone conclusion. There is no dissent. The statement is outrageous, given the obvious amount of dissent in the comments, and the positive reaction of my fellow commenters to it. "AI built a browser from scratch." It did not. "AI built a compiler." It can't compile hello world. "AGI is coming & nobody disagrees." But the truth takes its time getting its shoes on while a lie already spread across the world.

It's doubly tiring since I (and I suspect, many of this) are having AI stuffed down our gullets by our respective management chains. Any honest evaluation of AI comes to the result that it's nowhere near capable, routinely misses the mark, and probably takes more time to verify its answer than it does to use. But I suspect many people are just skipping the verification step.

& it's disappointing to see low-quality articles like this make it, time and again, and it feels like thoughtful discussion no longer moves minds these days.

I'll try to express this without the snark going forward, though.

Before the era of code reviews as best practice I was surprised to learn many developers I worked with knowingly check partially or completely broken features and code. That’s what AI is when I’ve used it on large complex applications so far.

Agreed. While there has been a lot of progress with AI, the full-throated bleating of its superlatives is tiresome and often verges on outright falsehoods.

That said, Dario is orders of magnitude better than other AI tech ceos who are outright bullshitters/liars. He generally makes/raises good points which are worth thinking over.
