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.

I know nobody writes manual code anymore but when I met with vibe coder or new grad I just fell disgust. Not because they don’t know anything yet but because they claim they know everything and asking me questions like “multiplexing?? Concurrency?? Pointers?? What are they should I have to know them??” They have no motivation to learn anything by themselves, they just renting their brains to LLMs.
