My favorite quote in this article is:

"There’s a lot of resentment here, and the job market won’t stay frozen forever. When it thaws, resentment always turns into resignations."

I can't and won't argue that AI is currently overhyped and that there are people whose lives are miserable because they're being forced to use bad AI implementations.

However, I see a lot of people around me who pay for LLMs from their own pocket when their employer won't foot the bill for them. And if it's their own money at stake, you can be pretty sure that they see some ROI there.
