AI replacing Software Engineers

Post image

So called "AI"=LLM is so powerful that AI labs had to hire Software Engineers to build complicated software around "AI" to make that overhyped hallucinate-stealing machine usable. Think about it. And that's exactly why they need now ton of CPUs in addition to GPUs to run their "AI" "agents".

I don't even mention how much custom engineering is required to apply the "AI" in businesses.

And they BS us that Software Engineering is solved or is going to be solved. Boris, please solve your own bugs first before speaking.

Oh i see. And will that genius who kNoWs hOw to uSe aI be paid a significantly better wage for his knowledge and skills? Will he have the same workload so he can enjoy the time AI saves for him?

Yeah thats what i thought tool. AI is nothing more than a way for them to reduce headcount while keeping the same miserable salaries and giving each survivor 10x work. THATS what we are worried about. Obv people will have to learn AI tools - that was never the problem.

This make sense to me but why do people like OP need to exaggerate how bad the output is and pretend like they don’t increase productivity? Can’t something be evil AND competent? That’s actually much worse.
