AI is a bubble, just like dot-com
I do believe that AI is a bubble. I guess the question is: is it a crypto/NFT kind of bubble, or a dot-com kind of bubble?
AI Mania Is Eviscerating Global Decision-Making — Ludicity
I feel this so much. I wish the people who need to read this would read this.
The AI Hype Reckoning Is Upon Us
Good article about the gulf that does seem to exist between the hype around AI in business, and the actual benefits.
AI enthusiasts are in a race against time, AI skeptics are in a race against entropy
Interesting take on the two "sides" of the debate about AI.
The Eternal Sloptember
This post more or less reads like how I feel. The author seems to have had more problems with the generated code than I have, possibly, but I know where they're coming from and feel the same sense of concern.
How Generative and Agentic AI Shift Concern from Technical Debt to Cognitive Debt
Having spent a few days finally taking an "agentic" approach to building a project, one thing I noticed was I didn't personally enjoy the process. I enjoyed the outcome, I enjoyed the result, but the actual process was a boring slog. I also felt that I was losing something too.
This covers this concern.

Cloudflare caught doing... not great things, and it seems that (surprise face!) AI was at the heart of it.

Don't fall into the anti-AI hype
Most of what I'm seeing related to "AI" I hate. I'm also fed up with the whole vibe-coding thing and folk who should know better hyping it up. On the other hand I recognise that there's utility to these tools, even (and perhaps especially) as a software developer.
I sense this blog post has some sensible things to say on the subject.
AI has a cargo cult problem
I'm not sure I really quite agree with the article, especailly the "cargo cult" side of things, I can see where it's coming from and I think I'd agree in some ways.
The madness of king altman: how AI became the god of silicon valley
"At this point, it doesn’t matter if tech executives and VCs believe their own hype and wild claims about what’s next for AI — though I firmly believe that they genuinely buy into the things they’re preaching and chugging their own kool aid — because they’ve made the grand pronouncements, they started their cults, and they promised a future of AGI-powered wonder. They sold equity to investors who give them billions every year, and those investors now expect steady double-digit percentage returns."
A fun (and hopefully concerning) take on the AIification of everything.
