stopped listening after "they're not supplying a compelling product"

the speaker here clearly is just rage-baiting. any inability to achieve productivity gains with the products OAI and A\ produce is purely a user skill issue

I don't think you can make an informed assessment of the 40 minute interview based on the first 30 seconds of an out-of-context preview clip.

I think there good reasons to criticize some of his arguments, but you have to at least make it past the intro music.

> OAI and A\

Did you mean "any GenAI tool whatsoever"? Nothing special about those two big ones except the brand and the huge capacity to devour and repurpose any and all data you send to them.

The thing is it's very hard to know where on the spectrum you should be and that is breaking many people's brain in the industry (myself included). While I believe both the deniers and singularity believers seem like irrational extremes, the negativity of the deniers and complete lack of aw for the tech just shows me whatever the future is, they are not the ones involved in building it...
