Ironically, this is probably the way it is going to go. As we keep going deeper into the information age, managing all the information thrown at us is becoming unmanageable. With the introduction of AI it will get worse, even as AI becomes the only way of handling the influx of information. Using machine learning has been a way to sort information for a long time (spam sorting is a type of AI after all) and present generative AI are an evolution of that.
I dont think thats necessarily true.
FWIW im team "AI can be a useful tool", but on the day when other people's chat bots start emailing my chat bot who summarises it for me im just going to go throw my laptop in the river.
I think Linus has kind of addressed it: if you found it with a tool then we already found it.
Maybe im being naive. IDK. Im so sick of tech just generally.
