For example designers and developers both use the computer as their primary medium of working. Their outputs resemble each other very closely, despite having a different underlying form.

Contrast that to the interior designer building a house, well those are different mediums. There is no efficiency gain from the interior designer designing the plan and also implementing it. Where as with a designer working in code there is one.

Fashion designers do indeed make clothing by hand, it's a very important part of their craft. This example disproves your stance.

Bringing a Figma killer to the market is converting a conventional software sector into an AI one. So it's more disruptive.

In response I suggest that the engineers using AI also lack code judgement (because they are not reading it either). I don't think questioning the AI use is the actual topic here, it is the shifting roles. Who says it's the designers that are taking the new meta-role? It's probably the FE's honestly.

The role shifting doesn't mean that it's the best path forward. I'm simply stating that it is happening.

I did not say anything of the sort.

Is anyone using AI to track these audacious and large bets? Seems like you could actually do this to tell which ones are insider info and which are just stupid random bets?

If the models don't get to a higher level of 'intelligence' and still struggle with certain basic tasks at the SOTA while also getting more expensive, then the pitch is misleading and unlikely to happen.

So yes, I expect the price to go down.

Maybe? It seems as if the tech is starting to taper off already and AI companies are panicking and gaslighting us about what their newest models can actually do. If that's the case the industry is probably in trouble, or the world economy.

This is most every corporate website.

If someone is clear about offering an anecdote, it's dishonest to pretend as if they were making a real and reasoned argument.
