The " AI Wave" is just a fiction. The whole idea is just an attempt to get investments for companies that don’t and cant really produce any value. I’ve tried many of these “AI” tools and none of them can really do anything useful.
From what I’ve seen programmers are using Claude a lot. It may still cause problems in the medium to long term by squeezing out junior developers or atrophying the skills of senior developers, but in the meantime it is speeding up production of code.
It’s also making scams a lot easier by simulating real human communication, up to and including video chat.
I’m not sure what will cool down the hype. It’s almost exclusively driven by c-suite morons who find AI very useful for writing unclear emails and inaccurate notes. The sort of things they’d do themselves before. Even programmer who adopt it are mostly quietly muddling along.
