    It's been almost half a year since we got powerful enough models, and I'm wondering, where are all those great things that were created with them? Maybe it's just me, but nothing has changed in my life so far. No improvements, but definitely, I need to be more careful when reading, listening, watching, and using things, as bad quality slowly creeps everywhere.

      We have replaced multiple 100k contracts from SaaS vendors with fully AI created alternatives. AI is a tool. In the hands of talented and efficient workplaces, it is like any tool. But, if you give the latest DeWalt OMT to a person who doesn't know or is scared of it, and put them in an organization that is full of politics and bureaucracy, then that tool is going to be useless.

        Do you have any examples? I'm honestly curious.

          We had at least 2 low code/no code tools that are pointless in the AI world. I honestly don't know the future of these companies because what is the point of lo-code/no-code tools when that's what AI does? I digress, but that was our reasoning, and its been almost 1/2 a year and no one regrets the decision.
