A Reddit user in r/singularity argues that AI won't replace humans anytime soon, especially in coding, where it's neither faster nor cheaper. He criticizes AI's lack of autonomy and memory, and questions the AI bubble, noting economic over-reliance and Nvidia's high prices due to OpenAI's GPU choice. Despite valuing AI and enjoying free tokens from OpenRouter, he believes AI is overhyped.
