"Speed up" implies the outputs are the same, so I disagree with that.
That’s a fair point. I meant “speed up” in terms of development efficiency, rather than implying the outputs are necessarily identical. Thanks for pointing that out.
Nope, clearly you didn't get my point and we disagree about this.
I think, practically, yeah. That’s exactly the point I’m making AI is changing how we approach these problems, not simply replacing the human part.
