Typical doomerism headline, AI boom could have a positive effect on productivity, as the CMA says.

If you view it through the lens of productivity sure.. but a space race-esque race to develop AI by the companies that we have learnt quite brazenly do not care about breaking rules/laws to maximise profit and market share? Colour me a doomer.

These LLM AIs are just regurgitating shit that's been fed into them. There's zero intelligence involved.

But they do make writing work emails a lot easier. I use chatgpt to write draft reports, always needs polishing but it's a lot easier than starting with a blank page, so I can see the productivity gains already.

LLMs are just regurgitating shit AND that’s most of what we do all day too.
