That is very logical. Google's AI has rapidly become better at search and presents answers in a tolerable way.
If we disregard exploitation of the primary sources and focus purely on a use case, search summaries are it. Generative AI is completely useless and OpenAI and Anthropic will soon fail. The Segway is maybe fun for a day, then you ask yourself why the heck you aren't using a bike in the first place.
The ironic rockstar comparison is very good. The classic rockstar only cared about "new" technologies and wrote spaghetti code, the new 100x AI rockstar can do more damage.
It's a pity that the article ends cautiously with recommending to perhaps adapt AI usage practices. In this climate we are not there yet to publish the unfiltered opinion that generative AI is garbage and should be disposed of. Soon we will be.
Good. Let it all implode.
Maybe the company or the CEO are invested in AI companies. Half of this tokenmaxxing is ordered by legitimately insane people, the other half has vested interests.
When that boost disappears after the IPOs, everything will crash.
