Martin Casado explains AI as a fundamentally new abstraction layer of computing: "I don't think in the history of computer science that I can recall have we ever abdicated actual reasoning or logic. It's always been a resource. It's been like compute, network, and storage..." "And then the human is putting in the high-level thing, and it's using the compute, network, and storage to calculate the answer." "But now I feel like you're actually abdicating thinking in a way, where you're like, 'Tell me the answer.' Like, 'I'm not even really sure what the question is.'" "This is the first time it feels like a different layer of the stack. Maybe this really is the next abstraction, which is more of a human-level abstraction, which doesn't map directly and so is actually different... You kind of pray to the model god in the right words, and then it produces the answer that just ends up being useful." @martin_casado(a16z)
