Wonder how long we’ll get “LLMs do nothing for productivity” takes from folks who have ~zero first-hand experience with current-day solutions.

Things I agree with:
- there's an AI bubble
- many uses of "AI" are shit/vile/immoral
- LLMs are bad at many things (counting etc.)
- LLM output /must/ be human-reviewed
- the copyright/labor question remains openAnd:
- current-gen LLMs are a tremendous tool for programming

@fasterthanlime @anildash well put.
Don’t forget though, they’re also a climate-crisis-accelerator (compounder even):

We can’t leave out that all-impactful externality as if the productivity improvement on its own comes for free.
Lack of productivity is not what’s holding our society back. I’d take lower productivity in exchange for societal abundance of energy, water, land, compute etc. any day.
