What I don't understand is, why not replace middle management, marketing, CTOs, CEOs and the like. Surely, LLMs are better at producing high quality looking slideware and vaporware than they are at producing software.

Heavy sarcasm here if it's not obvious. Of course I know why.

I mean, there a so many startups getting crazy funding that run without management, or without engineers... or at least with so many less people than before.. except: not really.

Is the whole "it's gonna replace people" even still on the table?

I don't really understand what you mean... are you saying that the entire industry is parroting a fantasy that they all know is fake. So, everyone is faking to get more funds?

Unfortunately, I don't think that's true.

You think AI will replace a significant portion of the workforce in the sector?

Do you see it already happening? I personally not. Lay offs are due to economic reasons, at least that's what I see. Why does Anthropic still had so many engineers?

I got the impression companies are already moving back from their initial excitement. Many went all-in AI "more is better", that's not the case anymore. Why restricting usage, it's much cheaper than paying an engineer.
