In my feed 'AI hype' outnumbers 'anti-AI hype' 5-1. And anti-hype moderates like antirez and simonw are rare. To be a radical in ai is to believe that ai tools offer a modest but growing net positive utility to a modest but growing subset of hackers and professionals

Well put.

AI obviously brings big benefits into the profession. We just have not seen exactly what they are just yet. How it will unfold.

But personally I feel that a future of not having to churn out yet another crud app is attractive.
