🔗 Daring Fireball: AI Is Technology, Not a Product

Levy’s argument reminds me of the hype around “the cloud” when that first became a term. It’s so meaningless when used broadly (e.g. “Everything will soon be in the cloud”) that it could mean anything.

Hearing this reminds me of a story from In Search for Stupidity, in which Borland was trying to sell their suite of office products by extolling the virtues of Object Oriented programming. Techies’ gonna’ techie, and think everyone is excited as they are about their new toys or methodologies. But for heavens sake, know thy audience.
