I don't get why this would be someone's position. If it "barely works" it would not sustain mass usage across many product lines.
Just recently, I used generative AI integrated into databricks to build complex sql queries via English, used Google Gemini in Google sheet to formula a tricky pivot table, chatGPT build a cloud formation schema for new infra for a service & to navigate some tricky database primarily key setup for dynamodb; used copilot integrated into my IDE to speed up unit test and simple refractors and code complete every other line written.
I nor the other millions of subscribers to these tools are not subscribed because it barely works it's because it lets me work more efficiently.
It save tons of time across many product for many things that used to be sources of frustration or slow mundane tasks.
Those things are great but did you actually pay for them? At some point it has to actually make money. We are on the “fueled by investors and mania” part that made us think scams like WeWork and Uber would work at the low prices for a while. I use Google Gemini sometimes for questions but if I had to pay the real energy and financial costs it took to arrive at my innocuous question’s answer I doubt it would be feasible.
