The idea that AI will replace programmers has been around since the emergence of AI. I do not know what the future holds. But I know that using in AI in software engineering reduces productivity by almost 20%. My point is, one tries to distinguish fact from opinion.

"The idea" is one thing, seeing it concretely, seeing companies laying off 40% of workers or losing 20% in a stock exchange session is another.

So why are these companies losing billions in a few months?!

Are the big hedge funds stupid or is a pre-print not considered reliable?


I felt the same for TLDs like .ai. They might not be fake websites, but they seemed -to me at least- like cheap vibe-coded websites offering lousy products.
