If you think AI might not be that big of a deal after all – or that its impact might be felt rather later than sooner – I invite you to read this. There are plenty of good reasons to be skeptical of the capabilities of AI (and the value they might create). However, I’m almost sure someone is getting it wrong when they’ve last tried ChatGPT, Claude et al a couple of months ago or when they are using these systems in a very superficial way, as mere chatbots. A maximalist take like this one is to be taken with a good pinch of salt, but at the very least, it will challenge you to sharpen your view.
