People like to compare "AI" (here, LLM products) to the iPhone.

I cannot make sense of these analogies; people used to line up around the block on release day for iPhone launches for years after the initial release.

Seems now most people collectively groan when more "innovative" LLM products get stuffed into otherwise working software.

This stuff is the literal opposite of demand.

What this tells me is that software enterprises are so hellbent in firing their programmers and reducing their salary costs they they are willing to combust their existing businesses and reputation into the dumpster fire they are making. I expected this blatant disregard for human society to come ten or twenty years into the future, when the AI systems would actually be capable enough. Not today.
