I think you’re being overoptimistic about the skill ceiling that this generation of Ai is likely to have.


Yeah. Every time I see entirely unfounded claims like that, I remember that I've been seeing them for literal years now. While there have definitely been improvements in AI capability, they have largely been very marginal, while the claimed "will handle entire engineering tickets" capability requires huge leaps in capability and reliability that _we just have not seen evidence for._

Mentally, I'm replacing claims like this with "it will do magic!" and I think I'm just about as likely to be correct.


++. Was surprised I had to scroll so far to find someone saying this!
