Not sure if this is positive, but the most coherent take on AI I’ve seen so far. Realistic but not panicked.
Generative Tech is about what will actually touch us – what you can do with AI as a partner.
Until now, software has been used to refine our initial ideas into something useful; it was responsible for the second half of the process, if you will, of going from zero to something useful. But these new generative tools help you with the first half of th... See more

Generative AI can automate simple tasks
By automating simpler, tedious tasks (generating boilerplate code, fixing linter errors, generating unit tests, etc.), generative AI can help engineers focus on more complex tasks.
Generative AI can improve quality & reliability
Since generative AI models are trained on large codebases, they have the poten... See more

There's a swirl of optimism around how these models will save us from a suite of boring busywork: writing formal emails, internal memos, technical documentation, marketing copy, product announcement, advertisements, cover letters, and even negotiating with medical
insurance companies.But we'll also need to reckon with the trade-offs of making
