Content Data

This page contains data entry 31174 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.

The businessman is sitting in on meetings where people that get reports from R&D department try their best to convince him that their particular department deserves more money. Then this businessman takes this summary of work that he hears from the people reporting to him, and then goes to a huge conference of world leaders where he and his company are trying to get governments to invest huge money into their products.

If this was at least him at a technical conference discussing actual strategic targets there might be *something* to it, but this is not what's happening. This is literally a CEO talking to a bunch of 60 and 70 year old men about problems that they are simply not equipped to understand.

This in turn gets interpreted and summarised by a journalist with even less experience, and finally interpreted again by a bunch of redditor AI fans who are convinced that singularity is just around the corner, and has been for 2 years.

The thing that's actually been happening with AI is that people have been getting better and better at AI, and using it to solve more and more complex tasks. However, this doesn't actually change the complexity of the task being solved. In other words we went from a world where one or two people understand a problem, and have to struggle to explain it to laypeople, to a world where one or two people, and a few AI agents understand a problem, and have to struggle to explain it to laypeople.

This is great for the tech literate, because it's now possible to work orders of magnitude faster. On the other hand this is actually kinda painful for non-tech people, because now they have to deal with learning entirely new and complex things way more often. In other words, we haven't used AI to remove many barriers between normal people and technology, instead we're using AI to generate more and more new barriers that prevent most people from understanding wtf is happening and how.

In a way he's right, in the future there will be a lot less coding in the sense of a person hammering at a keyboard to write code. However, the thing he's missing is that this sort of future doesn't mean there's no code. To the contrary, there's going to be more code than ever, it's just instead of writing it and slowly getting used to how to do it people will be expected to understand the code and the implications of that code as it relates to all the other code in the system right away.

It's sort of like adding more lanes to a highway to relieve traffic. It might work for a bit before people adjust to the new capacity, but eventually you'll just have one extra lane of gridlock.
