I would add that no one has shown any solid business benefit or productivity gain due to AI despite there being massive incentives for someone to do so. We've tried to use AI for multiple projects within my company and none of them have panned out.

The two groups I see speaking to massive productivity gains are CEOs of AI related companies, for obvious reasons, and software engineers and influencers that want a piece of the pie or to show their bosses they’re learning the technology. I think it’s important to understand what productivity means as well. Auto generating a document isn’t a productivity gain if it contains a bunch of falsehoods or ignores data that an expert in the field might catch.

This breathlessly-positive performance art shows up all the time on HN, whether or not the article is even about AI. I can believe it when someone points out specific tasks that the tool is good at and why, but when someone shows up and extolls AI as the greatest human achievement since the steam engine and how it's going to change life as we know it, it just feels like they are performing for their manager or something.
