The more exposed we are to an Internet of AI slop (AIS) and even the potential of career ladder disruption, the less happy young people are starting to be with regards to their trust and hope that AI will bring a better world.
If I had to venture a theory, I'd say that because AI is allowing engineers to move so quickly, there's less opportunity—and less desire—to involve the traditional design process.
The deeper problem appears to be that the tech is not a meaningful job creator or increasing productivity outside of a few roles even in technology companies.
