Ask HN: Why are so many people in tech in denial about AI?

Fri, 11/01/2024 - 5:01am

I have regular conversations with fellow developers and their mindset goes like: today X can't be done so tomorrow AI will also not be able to do X for Y biased reason.

In the meanwhile the most important people in tech including Nvidia CEO, Sam, Hinton, Musk and many others believe that AI will very soon be able to do everything a coder can do today. Why does it matter if it's in 2 years of 5 years? It's much earlier than your retirement date. Nobody is planning for this.

I believe this is a case of "normalcy bias" where crowds refuse to see reality because it's too disturbing.
