I am just so sick of AI prediction content

I swear to God if I read another sensationalist headline that says “How AI will change software engineering” I will set the us-east-1 and us-west-2 data centers on fire myself.

I mean jeez, that has been the only topic of discussion for years in tech circles. How many more of those blogs, podcasts, YouTube videos do we need? They do add anything new to the conversation. After the 50th, we get it… things are changing.

The worse thing about this parasitic trend is that most of the time it’s basically a dude who wants to appear visionary and so he makes a prediction of the future.

Now, I should clarify: I am not against talking about the impact of AI. It is a truly transformative technology after all. But even myself, as an AI engineer, I am just soooo sick of that type of content. It’s the same generic stuff. It appears we have become the LLMs, regurgitating what’s already out there as if it was new ideas.

No new insight, no interesting experimentation grounded in data, no hypothesis formation, no exploration, nope, nothing. Just “AI will change everything about bakeries in this imaginary future world in my head. Here’s how I see it playing out”.

Dear Internet, I beg of you, please do not produce another piece like that. I would much rather read the following article:

“3 intruiging ways bakeries are adopting AI, the positive impact on their operations, and where they found it detrimental”.

Now THIS is something worth reading!! Not your “ouhh look at me, I think the field will evolve like A,B,C so vision, such insight, many smart”.

Some thought leader guy leading in thoughts, supposedly

End of rant. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
