alt Hacker NewsUsage does not correlate with valued output or ROI. This article smells like a bad attempt to say hey guys our customers see ROI without any actual evidence that they do.
Also, somewhat amusingly, the “founder” consistently being at the top of the use curve might just have something to do with everyone else also using it, but that more implies people are using it because the chief at the top wants them to use it… not because it’s actually useful. A pattern that’s typical of bad AI deployments.

Frankly, it seems obvious to me that AI has negative efficiency (0.25x as efficient as the old way? 0.125x as efficient as the old way? 0.0625x as efficient as the old way?)
AI has created a generation of 0.125x engineers.

This sounds possible but how can we know? It could just as well correlate. Effort of all kinds correlates with success even when it's not obvious or not... linear.
