> AI products are used ubiquitously to generate code, text, and images, analyze data, automate tasks, enhance online platforms, and much, much, much more—with usage expected only to increase going forward.

Why does every hype article start with this. Personally my copilot usage has gone down while coding. I tried and tried but it always gets lost and starts spitting out subtle bugs that takes me more time to debug than if i had written it myself.

I always have this feeling of 'this might fail in production in unknown ways' because i might have missed checking the code throughly . I know i am not the only one, my coworkers and friends have expressed similar feelings.

I even tried the new 'chain of thought' model, which for some reason seems to be even worse.

Because they all use AI to write the articles.

There is a market for AI. And it is exactly these articles and maybe pictures attached to them. Soon could be some videos as well. But how far beyond that. Is very good question.

AI trained on a web that's primarily about selling things

I wish they used AI. It'd feel less artificial than the scripts investors give them to keep the boom booming.

It's a gold rush and they are inspectors. They have an incentive to keep the rush flowing.
