And then some absolute son of a bitch created ChatGPT, and now look at us. Look at us, resplendent in our pauper’s robes, stitched from corpulent greed and breathless credulity, spending half of the planet’s engineering efforts to add chatbot support to every application under the sun when half of the industry hasn’t worked out how to test database backups regularly. This is why I have to visit untold violence upon the next moron to propose that AI is the future of the business - not because this is impossible in principle, but because they are now indistinguishable from a hundred million willful fucking idiots.
Yup

I feel like I’m not tech savvy enough to get the bigger points in this article. Can someone do a brief precis?
Basically the tech industry is full of enough “product leader” douchebags that they truly believe a “convincing bullshit generator” is revolutionary. Now they don’t even have to come up with their own vacuous bullshit
