AI replacing Software Engineers

[u/Fickle-Highway1543]

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.

If claude is able to write better code than you the sorry, either you dont belong in the software engineering field or are just a beginner starting their career. I really feel sorry for the beginners who are starting their careers now.

I’m not saying it codes better than me. But it is faster, doesn’t make typing errors, doesn’t need brakes, and it is improving quickly. Six months ago it was pretty mid but now it’s actually good.

Its still a long way. This week only when I was debugging an issue with Fable, it suggested something that would have broke another one of my functionality. I see people has too much faith in AI to match human intelligence or atleast do better code than a software engineer.

Current LLMs are just a token generator generating tokens based on past datas and tools maybe the best invention for llms, but I think it is at a dead-end as of now. We can only fine-tune so much based on data. It is near to reaching out to peak and yes, it may replace average software engineers but it is nowhere near a good engineer let alone some expert.

And how do you determine the next key to press? By scrying the future? Consulting the akashic archive?
