Am I one of the few "rare" developers who:
1. "Secretly" wants AI to finally succeed ...
... doing all the things AI CEOs continuously promise AI will be able to do, (but fail to deliver) - so that I can implement all those ten thousand ideas I thought I would never have enough time to implement; or will finally be able to implement my unique Open Source Everything App that will do everything from note taking, to time management, to publish blogs on my personal websites and/or social media, to email management, to password management ... everything in a deterministic way (not like the AI agent way) - all while everything being end to end encrypted, secure and private!
2. Yet, still loves the creative self ...
... writing code, poetry and articles by hand, even in a possible future where a super accessible ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence) exists, and even if it's 100% free with unlimited tokens, and even if it can be run locally on cheap hardware?
Or is this seemingly contradictory craving very common among developers?
Just wanted to know!
Note: No AI was
harmedused to write this post. All the grammatical mistakes and the lack there of, are mine alone 😁

I keep switching between the two.
IMHO, ASI may not ever happen!
But if it does happens, I think we have something to fear, even if we love our creative selves.
