I remember in the weeks and months after ChatGPT was released, there were plenty of comments here - seemingly respected comments getting plenty of upvotes - about exponential grown meaning that all programmers - or even all knowledge workers - would have their jobs made unnecessary in, wow, two weeks! Or, well, maybe two months! Wait, actually, two years! Always two of something.

It’s the full-self-driving of the 2020s (complete with the never-ending ‘we actually have it now you just don’t understand!’)

[Edit: I don’t mean it’s useless, just that its boosters are overhyping it - expanding on and agreeing with Had they been more realistic with the promises and didn’t frame it as replacing all of us within 2 years, I would have been more excited about the tech.]
