I've definitely been pretty anti-AI, finding it kinda stupid and generally useless...
...but we hired an AI researcher at my work (which I laughed at). But I cannot deny anymore that with the proper setups, configs, rules, blend of onsite / cloud resources etc. - workplace AI can be pretty fucking game changing. To the point where I went from campaigning against the changes because I felt they were a waste of time to where I am worried for my future job and am using agents 5-10 times a day to handle small bugfixes for me.
I don't know what will happen when the bubble pops though.
The bubble is irrelevant, that's just capitalism being inefficient. When the dot com bubble popped it's not like the internet died. We got things like Netflix and Amazon only after the bubble popped.
You say that like things improved.
Things have improved, people's standards are just significantly higher. Remember when we didn't even have clean drinking water? Nope, wasn't alive back then.
