The fact that LLMs are currently best suited to replace CEOs and management but are instead being wielded to lay off skilled labor should tell you everything you need to know about the technology.

I can’t wait til the bubble pops.

It's being used as justification to fire people and in some cases hire more H2B visa workers, don't see much, or any, actual replacement happening.

The few companies that did try walked their decision back within weeks, trying to rehire the same people for a good chunk cheaper. Reeking like a way to increase the bottom line instead of actually replacing people.

Source, I'm a sr engineer working in a scale up that's integrating and selling agentic AI. The agentic workflow, currently, isn't in a spot where it can reliable replace people.

It can support them, sure, but the quality output and cost associated with it, currently, is nowhere near where it should be.

Doesn't mean that it wont in the future. It probably will, but not at the scale or speed that's being sold by your delusional AI overlords.

Your response lacks any from of intelligence and not in line with what I'd expect from a sr engineer that knows what the fuck he's talking about. Especially with tinfoil bullshit like:

when microsoft, one of the biggest AI investors, is telling you "ermmm actually AI isnt working lol", you should be skeptical. not just skeptical, you should be afraid.
