"productivity boost"*

*citation missing

Isn't that, isn't that kinda what companies always want? Isn't that kinda their purpose?! 😅🤔

I'm not even ironic or critical here.

True, in principle they’d want infinite revenue and zero cost. Publicly traded companies have a fiduciary duty to chase that outcome.

Incidentally, that is how I behave towards my employer, since it is in my financial interest to do as little as I can get away with.

Best I can do is big bill and no boost to productivity.

Why is "AI" being replaced with "Al" (lowercase L) in your post titles? Something to do with subverting scrapers? I've seen a few of these posts and it trips me up; in the typeface I'm using it's quite distinct.

It's only going to get worse as AI companies start charging whatever companies are willing to pay. If it makes a dev 10x faster, they will charge the cost of 8 devs. Only a matter of time.
