So many execs and marketing people seem to think customers explicitly "want AI".

Most people do not want AI! Only a tiny segment of Middle Managers Looking To Leverage New Technology are actually excited by AI branding.

But, lots of people want software that does magically useful things, and LLMs can do that! Just...don't brand it as AI.

It's like branding a new computer with more processing power as "Jam Packed with Silicon and Capacitors!" instead of, "It starts up really fast!". Nobody needs to know implementation details if the thing is actually useful.

The question is where are all the new apps or features that are _written_ using LLMs, since everyone is 100x more productive now.

Why did you let an LLM write this comment?

This. So much. Nobody cares whether it’s AI or goblins under the hood. Just like nobody cares about how smartphones or the internet work. The only thing that matters to the majority of user is what it does for (or to) them.

Apple’s marketing was (is?) textbook this.

Also, I’d bet most people building with LLMs don’t care, or even know about, PyPI.

Can you name one? Why so coy?
