what makes you so confident that AI is just a hype?
It's fun to play with, but LLMs can't reason and are fundamentally unreliable. They cannot be made reliable.
The actual market uses for large quantities of human-like text is, like, autocomplete and spam.
I use copilot as fancy autocomplete and like it, but ~all claims that it will replace SWEs are by people selling AI or people who fundamentally do not understand what SWEs actually do.
It'll probably replace some offshoring, ironically lol
