I haven’t seen any productivity or growth from AI.
All I see is increased liabilities and failures.
I know I’m going to catch flak for it, but I definitely see use cases where LLMs (AI hasn’t been invented yet) do increase productivity. All my devs use them for their daily work and haven’t once questioned that it’s useful. However, they know when to use LLMs and when not too. That is definitely not the case for the general populace and is further accentuated by big tech unnecessarily cramming that stuff in everything. That’s what’s creating an ecological and societal issue that’s rightfully driving the negative sentiments
Apparently you don’t follow the news about software vulnerabilities. Since LLMs started replacing coders the number has skyrocketed. I’ve also seen more consumers abstaining from online platforms than ever because they know, they don’t think they know, that sloppers such as yourself will not hesitate to sell off their face and identity to Peter Theil the billionnaire nazi.
AI doesn’t have a use case aside from disinformation, it’s a net negative on society by a lot.
There are responsible and irresponsible ways to use LLMs to code. Of course, the irresponsible ways are also the cheapest. Your problem is with short sighted profit-maximizing capitalism, not LLMs.
An LLM is basically a glorified autocomplete. Ideal for writing standard code blocks and automating repetitive tasks. It’s a bit like getting a trainee to bash out stuff that doesn’t require much thought. Using it to write your entire codebase and calling it “vibe coding” is like getting a trainee to write your entire codebase.
A trainee at least has morals. An LLM could result in human deaths or millions in property losses and be like: “You’re absolutely right. I completely misread the situation. Here’s why:”
All my devs use them for their daily work and haven’t once questioned that it’s useful.
Not questioned that it’s useful or just told you what you want to hear? I would argue that it’s the latter, being driven by fear of losing their jobs especially given the current state of the tech sector with the amount of layoffs of devs due to them being replaced by AI.
Nothing I could tell you could prove we’re not that kind of company without doxxing myself. I can just tell you that I’m usually the first person trying to dispel the illusion that LLMs can replace people. Wether people like it or not, it’s a powerful and helpful tool in the right hands, that is changing day to day workflows. Wether people like it or not, it remains nothing more than a tool, that needs the right skills and settings, nothing revolutionary.
Then you have either literally not even tried to look, or are objectively ignoring reality in favor of personal biases and possibly xenophobia.
There’s plenty of issues, water problems, power problems, ethical concerns, etc.
But claiming there’s been no productivity, growth or progress caused by LLM technology is objectively wrong.
It’s like claiming that nuclear research brought zero benefits just because you disagree with nukes.
It’s objectively on every level, retarded as fuck.
and possibly xenophobia
Bruh what
I agree with your point but “xenophobia”? Come on man, what are you smoking? Also loads of people just don’t have a day-to-day use case for LLM’s, doesn’t make them stupid/retarded for never seeing any upside and only see the downsides. Explaining what you use it for and its pros is a much better argument
Europe being “absent” from the AI safety debate may be the feature, not the bug. While Silicon Valley debates whether its own products could end humanity, Europe is asking the less cinematic question: why should our infrastructure, data and economy depend on a handful of US firms? Safety without sovereignty is just dependency with better paperwork.
Or just skip this shit. We don’t need “AI”
Not true
Whenever I ask that crap about something, I get very often wrong answer. When you tell it that it is wrong, it says Oh yeah, that is like that.
You know that AI/ML is not only LLMs, right?
Which is likely why they put AI in quotes.

Wdym abscent? The EU was among the first to regulate AI
And the EU has its own domestic AI, including Mistral which is one of the big ones. Not an AI fan myself but this is clearly nonsense
And even if they didn’t AI is rapidly becoming a generic commodity. Just build a datacenter and plug in an off-the-shelf LLM. There’s nothing to really catch up on other than infrastructure, which will be radically cheaper when the bubble pops. There is no crucial or indispensible IP for countries or even companies to own.
Given the current inflated costs (and the energy crisis), the best thing to do is wait until this shakes out and build in the future with a clearer understanding of the destination.
We should really think about the (our) AI Corpus first: https://aicorpus.eu/
Besides hardware manufacturers (nvidia et al) not a single company is growing because of AI.
Europe does not invest much into technology; Europeans in general don’t like technology. Let the Europeans be good humanist progressives, and leave them alone. They are not in a rat race for dominance.
Europe does not invest much into technology
We invest shitloads, we invent shitloads. The problem is you don’t hear about it because it’s bought up by US tech companies to be announced as one of their new products. Ask Americans who invented many of the key milestone technologies and they’ll reply with a list of Americans. They’re then shocked when they found out that those Americans are actually only the ones who patented it first and that it was first invented in Europe.

Shun it and have a population of people who can solve their own problems. Use it and gain a population that give of even basic decision making skills.
Or make your own
“Great”
Shun the technology and
lose out on growthfeel the JOMO (Joy of Missing Out).There, fixed it for you.
