Nobody serious, like every single AI CEO out there? I mean I agree, nobody should be taking them seriously, yet we're fast on track for a global financial meltdown because of these fraudsters and their "non-serious" words.
I agree about skills actually, but it's also obvious that parent is making a very real point that you cannot just dismiss. For several years now and far short of wild AGI promises, the answer to literally every issue with casual or production AI has been something like "but the rate of model improvement.." or "but the tools and ecosystem will evolve.."
If you believe that uncritically about everything else, then you have to answer why agentic workflows or MCP or whatever is the one thing that it can't evolve to do for us. There's a logical contradiction here where you really can't have it both ways.
I’m not understanding your point… (and would be genuinely curious to)? the models and systems around them have evolved and gotten better (over the past few years for LLMs and decades for “AI” more broadly)
oh I think I do get your point now after a few rereads (correct if wrong but you’re saying it should keep getting better until there’s nothing for us to do). “AI”, and computer systems more broadly, are not and cannot be viable systems. they don’t have agency (ironically) to affect change in their environment (without humans in the loop). computer systems don’t exist/survive without people. all the human concerns around what/why remain, AI is just another tool in a long line of computer systems that make our lives easier/more efficient
AI Engineer to Software Engineer: Humans writing code is a waste of time, you can only hope to add value by designing agentic workflows
Prompt Engineer to AI Engineer: Designing agentic workflows is a waste of time, just pre/postfix whatever input you'd normally give to the agentic system with the request to "build or simulate an appropriate agentic workflow for this problem"
OpenAI is going to get to AGI. And AGI should in minutes build a system that takes vague input and produces fully functioning product out of it. Isn't singularity being promised by them?
you’re just repeating the straw man. if you can’t think critically and just regurgitate every dumb thing you hear idk what to tell you. nobody serious thinks a “singularity” is coming. there’s not even a proper definition of “AGI”
your argument amounts to “some people said stupid shit one time and I took it seriously”

> nobody serious is promising that
There is a staggering number of unserious folks in the ears of people with corporate purchasing power.
