Steve Troughton Smith, who's a frequent person cited on the show, is a very skilled, experienced developer on Apple platforms and just a very generally very good coder.

So this is not a novice.

He's using it.

He's having great success.

He's porting apps that he had tried to port himself.

taken months and not done it and then he's doing it in five minutes so it's not like somebody who is i wasn't able to do this thing before because i'm not a skilled coder but now that i have a i can this is a skilled experienced coder who is fairly productive does a lot of stuff and is having great success then he has ideas for apps and whips them up in two seconds he's impressed by it

And then we have all the people who are scared about it.

And then we have, but how good actually is it?

And these people studying it.

Oh, so AI, everyone seems to love it and think it's great, but actually it's not helping productivity.

It's hurting it.

And all these studies finding that it's not giving a return on investment.

What's the truth?

How can we square this circle?

And I think...

Everything that we just read is the truth.

The truth is that AI is massively overhyped.

There's a lot of money behind it, forcing your employees to use it, which many companies have been doing, which blows my mind.

By the way, when you have something that the people like, you don't have to force them to do it.

you know, forcing people to use it.
