It is not. Ask your family, friends, acquaintances how much they use AI in their work and even at home to get through paperwork.
I am very interested in new technology and how people use it, I've brought it up a lot in my own circles and encountered several occasions where some "stop thinking" and takes the output from ChatGPT as "done-and-dusted".
And remember that people at municipal offices are just normal humans like you and me. Most just want to get things over with so they can go home, and AI is a convenient tool to help with that.
If I had to hazard a guess as to why China and the US are building so many GPU farms under the guise of "AI supremacy", I'd say it's to support state sponsored hacking.
So now programmers add value when they write more code faster? Curious how this was anathema but now is a clear evidence of LLM-driven coding superiority.
The math that isn't mathing is even more basic tho. This is a Concorde situation all over again. Yes, supersonic passenger jets would be amazing. And they did reach production. But the economics were not there.
Yeah, using GPU farms delivers some conveniences that are real. But after 1.6 trillion dollars it's not clear at all that they are a net gain.
This has to be satire
