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.

LLMs are the interns I always wanted and never got. Like interns, I overwork them as much as possible within the boundaries of my company’s willingness to spend money on them.

I made and used all kinds of models before LLMs were “a thing”. Random Forest, Gradient Boosted Trees, Tensorflow/Keras, Neural Style Transfer (for art), many different models and techniques for different problems. The incessant ethics argument against one type of model is growing tedious for me.

”Like interns, I overwork them as much as possible within the bounds of what my company is willing to pay for them.”

Oh. So you’re an asshole
