    The good news is this means many of the jobs AI is “taking” will probably come back when people realize it isn’t actually as good as the hype implied

      It’s just that I fear that realisation may not filter down.

      You honestly see it a lot in industry. Companies pay $$$ for things that don’t really produce results. Or what they consider to be “results” changes. There are plenty of examples of lowering standards and lowering quality in virtually every industry. The idea that people will realise the trap of AI and reverse is not something I’m enthusiastic about.

      In many ways AI is like pseudoscience. It’s a black box. Things like machine learning don’t tell you “why” it works. It’s just a black box. ChatGPT is just linear regression on language models.

      So the claim that “good science” prevails is patently false. We live in the era of progressive scientific education and yet everywhere we go there is distrust in science, scientific method, critical thinking, etc.

      Do people really think that the average Joe is going to “wake up” to the limitations of AI? I fear not.

      No, companies will and are accepting reduced quality outputs in exchange for a 90+% reduction in costs to get that task done. (90% being a conservative estimate)
