AI discourse is pervasive, with stark contrasts between proponents predicting AGI's imminent arrival and skeptics questioning its utility. Many technology companies invest heavily in AI at the cost of enhancing existing systems. This results in the introduction of unwanted features that complicate user experience. The current technology suffers from lack of investment and maintenance, as executives chase after AI's promised breakthroughs rather than addressing pressing software issues. As a result, critical infrastructure is often left unaddressed amidst the hype surrounding AI solutions.
No matter what your opinion on AI is, you probably have one already. Positive or negative, AI discourse is hard to avoid. The most dedicated AI evangelists will tell you that: "AGI is around the corner. Your job? obsolete."
Money that could have funded so many real solutions to real problems is being funneled into the AI bubble. The tech industry refuses to see this.
The operative systems we run, the browsers we use, our critical infrastructure gets consistently neglected to chase a promised wonderland of automation that never arrives.
I don't have a single day without dealing with software that's broken but no one cares to fix. And AI enthusiasts promise it will fix them for us!
