    It’s also weird to me because, if we take it at face value: Shouldn’t an AI-built system be super cheap to build and maintain?

    If big-tech was telling the truth about how great AI is, it shouldn’t need all this funding or support. The fact that they needed to pump a lot of money into it is pretty telling to me…

      Well, yeah. Anyone who actually has to interact with AI systems knows that it’s just a back box you put developer salaries into and get tech debt out of lol. They need the funding because they need actual devs to pay down the tech debt that’s already been accumulated by the AI code.
