Developer steveruizok's viral take: the biggest problem with pushing all-things-AI is the wrong direction—"I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can write React and CSS, not for AI to write my React and CSS so that I can do my laundry and dishes."
The post was retweeted by Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman and has become a widely shared critique of the industry's habit of automating creative work while leaving physical chores to humans.
