I guess it depends on if it stacks or is a multiplier. You might get 4x.

If you are looking up something you don't know about, how do you know the info provided us correct?

Maybe, but even experienced devs seem to want to fall into the trap of thinking their expertise will mean they can skim review AI code and spot it's mistakes rather than taking the time to properly review and understand the code. Low effort is low 3ffort regardless of your expertise.

I think anything over the "assisted" threshold in the OP is low effort and should be dumped.

Sure, but that is as a customer of the content generators, not the streaming services.

"artists" and "create" do a lot of heavy lifting there. If you are prompting a generative model to make something for you, then you aren't an artist or writer or programmer and you didn't create anything.

Sadly they crunched the numbers and decided they can make more money by charging more while making the service worse for the end user even if they have less users willing to stay on the platform. It's like they implicitly want people who want a cheaper better service to go pirate, they don't want you as customers.

Better technology won't make LLM techniques break out of their limitations, we are already throwing massive compute at it for marginal returns.

Brocas area on its own isn't intelligent and strapping a bunch of Brocas areas together won't get you there either.

Most of the frontier models as far as I'm aware are basically a bunch of differently trained LLMs strapped together and even then there have only been incremental improvements to their performance, no new functionality has really emerged from doing that.

LLM investment is IMO a dead end hype train and will require breakthroughs in other techniques of machine learning to put together something we would recognise as truly intelligent. I'll concede the possibility that LLM like functionality may be a portion of that but equally it may not be.

One day an AI might be, it won't be an LLM though.

Again, most people don't find it that useful that they will drop that kind of money on it even up front. Telling me that you are an outlier than has gone all in on AI and can't live without it doesn't really change the point I was making does it? Most people will just skip using AI if they have to pay for it and don't use it to "offload" most of their work to which frankly just makes you sound lazy.

Doesn't matter if it's useful if it's too expensive to use for the majority of use cases it has. Voice assistants like the echo are useful and people like them. However they aren't particularly profitable because people hate when they get monetised and won't use them that way.

AI is likely the same, most of the stuff it's being used for... even vibe coding where it's been hyped to the moon and back, probably aren't viable when the total cost of the compute needed for training and running are actually been charged for.
