Generative AI

Have seen atleast a couple of trends die out, which were introduced to us as "future" i.e blockhain / crypto - we aren't seeing people talk about it as much they did in 2021-2022. Remote work - they said it will be future. Now many offices firing if employees not reporting to office Is generative AI going to be next on the list? Or which other trend do you think belongs to this list

Is it another crypto? 😜 or is the hype real?

As a startup generalist, this has been unsettling, personally. What should all of us be doing to stay ahead of AI curve? What upskilling is required? What will be still relevant in 5-10 years?

AI is unlike any other past technology revolution. It is going to make cost of intelligence trending toward zero. Going by exponential curve of AI growth, in next 3-4 years, we are going to have an AI model which can code better than 95% of coders... Deep mind already has model Alphacode which can code better than 50% of competitive coders. People are living in fool's paradise by thinking that AI will create massive amount of job.... It won't because it will make cost of intelligence near to zero making coding, analyst, consultant, product management job redundant.... What takes 100 coders to build a product won't take more 10 coders in few years from now...

There are multiple companies worldwide leading the forefront of AI, with inovative strides in GPTs, Multi Agent models, GANs etc. However, most Indian AI startups are not working on the cutting edge. Rather, most of them are building wrappers around GPT-4 for a consumer experience. With the lack of any meaningful innovation within this space, is it unreasonable for Indian founders to raise on similar multiples as our counterparts in the west? Because honestly? I can see a lot of "crypto-nerd" founders shilling the new oil called "AI" after their previous NFT/crypto/ICO-crap didn't float.

Let’s say If, A big if, AI becomes self sufficient to do the job of a backend developer, like it’s able to write basic crud apps, simple system design stuff it can do and slowly it keeps getting better at debugging and stuff. (It should not need debugging tho) What can I as a backend developer do, to keep myself relevant in the market and always be able to find a new job?

Incoming!. Every FAANG PM is thinking about and working on integrating Gen AI into their features. This includes PMs and engineers who oversee 1-2 features in the entire product. And will oversell their part in it. For promotions to job switches these guy have to shout ‘I used a lot of Gen AI to change the world’ And then to sell it on LinkedIn for getting likes. The PMs will sound like they were just as visionary as Sam Altman who made GPT in the first place. And the engineers will sound like they coded GPT and will invent AGI themselves while they just integrate 2 APIs. You’ve been warned.
