My boss is literally convinced we can now basically make programs that take rockets to mars, and that it’s literally clicks away.
For the life of me, it is impossible to convince him that this is, in fact, not the case.
Whoever fired developers because ‘AI could do it’ is going to regret it.
Maybe try convincing him in terms he would understand. If it was really that good, it wouldn’t be public. They’d just use it internally to replace every proprietary piece of software in existence. They’d be shitting out their own browser, office suite, CAD, OS, etc. Microsoft would be screwing themselves by making chatgpt public. Microsoft could replace all the Adobe products and drive them out of business tomorrow.

He’s probably an investor.
The tech economy is struggling. Every company needs 20% more every year, or it’s considered a failure. The big fish have bought up every promising property on the map in search of this. It’s almost impossible to go from small to large without getting gobbled up, and the guys gobbling up already have 7 different flavors of what you’re trying to make on ice in a repo somewhere. There’s no new venture capital flowing into conventional work.
AI has all the venture capitalists buzzing, handing over money like it’s 1999. Investors are hopping on every hype train because each one has the chance of getting gobbled up and making a good return on investment.
These mega CEO’s have moved their personal portfolios into AI funding and their companies pushing the product will line their pockets indirectly.
At some point, that $200/pp/m price will shoot up. They’re spending billions on datacenters, and eventually those investments will be called in for returns.
When they hit the wall for training-based improvement, things got slippery. Current models are costing exponentially more, making several calls for every request. The market’s not going to bear that without an exponential cost increase, even if they’re getting good work done.

Yea, it’s that lack of critical thinking that is the reason why MLMs, and get rich quick courses still exist
I mean … the first moon landings took a very low number of clicks to make the calculations, technically speaking
Lots of clacks, though.
