Artificial general incompetence?

I believe this is naturally occurring

Artificial intelligence will be no match for natural stupidity.

Nobody can escape the dilbert phb law

To err is to be generally intelligent

I think something about its benefiting from a harness is significantly contributing to its performance, though I honestly am not smart enough to know whether that makes it "count" more or less.

just because they have smart AI, it does not mean they are great at software and cdn.

If they can't get the blocking and tackling right, it doesn't lend confidence they are doing the more complicated stuff well.

if it's really smart AI you might expect them to have it create the software and cdn

don't they use their coding agents internally?

Always wondered why making something like a rust memory safe Firefox, Linux, vlc, ffmpeg or curl isn’t a benchmark for these LLMs.

Their entire sales pitch is based on the idea that no one will need to be any good at anything, because the AI will do it for them.

If they can't ask the AI to configure their CDN correctly, it undermines the validity of their claims. Maybe it's trivial, but any Omnipotent Machine-God deserving of the name wouldn't forget to zip up his fly.

Welcome to the future
