AI Fever: When The Code Writes The Code
It seems that the world is in a manic swirl around generative AI. From regular folks to the number-crunching economists, all are riding the wave of wild optimism about its game-changing potential. But hey, remember when we thought mullets were a good idea too? So, let’s chill a sec and have a chuckle at the prospect of AI writing computer code, while also taking the hype down a notch.
Key Takeaways From The Saga Of Generative AI
- Generative AI, the newest cool kid on the tech block, is causing a frenzy among people who were once normal…and yes, even economists! It’s like the ‘Beatlemania’ of technology.
- The hype cycle monitor by Gartner shows that generative AI is comfortably chilling at the “peak of inflated expectations.” Pssst, it’s the part right before the big fall into the “trough of disillusionment”. So let’s not put all our eggs in this techno basket just yet!
- Hofstadter’s law says estimating the time for complex tasks is like trying to predict when your partner will be ready to leave the house. Spoiler alert: it always takes longer than you think. So, it’s safe to flip the bird to rapid societal change.
- Just because Big Tech and their cheerleaders in the media are going IOTTT (that’s “Insane Over The Top Tech”) over generative AI, doesn’t mean that it’s about to paint the town red at hyperspeed. Reality is like that grumpy grandparent. It moves slow!
Final Thoughts
Guys and gals, just because your Alexa can tell you a dad joke doesn’t mean she’s going to be writing a stand-up special anytime soon. Same with generative AI, it’s smart and all, but it also has its annoying little brother called ‘disillusionment’ coming up fast from behind. So yes, let’s all take a breath, maybe even laugh at the situation. After all, who thought we’d be here, sweating about robots writing code, when we were strutting around in our parachute pants? The future, right? Always a hoot!

Instruction: “You are a helpful assistant that creates unique images based on article titles. Create a brief visual description of what an image would look like for this title. Please pick a style of art from the following: Futurism, Impressionism, Romanticism, or Realism, be sure to consider the image should reflect an AI Robot Pirate theme during the Golden Age of Pirates.”
Prompt: For this impressionist styled image, the foreground is dominated by a life-size AI Pirate Robot. It’s situated in a classical era study room filled with books, maps, and navigational tools signifying the Golden Age of Pirates. The bot wears a tricorn hat with a metallic parrot on its shoulder, exuding an archetype pirate vibe.
The AI’s eyes are glowing with lines of code instead of humanlike pupils, and in one hand it expertly wields a retro futuristic cutlass, while the other manipulates a holographic interface displaying flowing lines of code, illustrating the act of self-coding. The reflection of the scrolling code gleams off the polished metallic surface of the robot pirate, creating interesting light patterns, enhancing the drama and fervor of the scene.
