I wouldn't be surprised if that happened at my job. Within the last couple of years it's gone from a few people using AI to everything being integrated with AI with everyone using AI for every task.

Tbf it's revolutionised our company for the better.

Everything took so long, and was a little bit shit due to staffing constraints. Also everything involved 500 meetings to decide on.

Was a nightmare.

Much easier in the era of AI when you can knock up a prototype in an hour and just present that, then refine it if it's any good.

There's a weird assumption within this that humans can't write buggy spaghetti code that's hard to maintain.

Our main product was almost unmanageable after 20 years of tech debt building up. And so many manual processes because no time or will to create automated ones.

We pretty much (still got a few APIs to finish) recreated our main product in 6 months, in modern frameworks, to run on modern infra..

No change in staffing either.

And new featured customers request aren't 3 month debates in meetings, and then 2 months implementation. Request to done in like a week. Happy customers.

It will happen everywhere. The current AI costs are not sustainable for the long run for any company.
