Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I agree, albeit it is unpopular here. AI isn't going to pop. It is, however, going to normalize. It's a hype cycle, and we're coming down to the realization in the hype cycle.
However, it's not going to pop, and much to the dismay of many here, it isn't going away. Pandora's box has been opened. Just like photoshop it's going to find its place in pipelines and its going to settle there. It won't be everything AI Bros promised, but it will find its place.
In fact, It already is, as an engineer who recently searched for job, you must use AI tooling now in your interviews. It is mandated. If you don't you will be looked at like the engineers who refused to use GUI designers in the early 2000s, or engineers who refuse to use docker and use shell scripts to deploy locally from your computer. You are going to be left behind. That may be a moral choice, but the tradeoff is being turned down for work. How do I know? Because I was turned down. Now I use Claude code, got my job, and pretty much use it daily for work. It found where it's useful.
Is the bubble contracting? Absolutely. Is it going to pop violently? Probably not.
