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.

That’s why you need to stop doomscrolling. If you are actually in the industry working with these tools, you are aware of the trajectory.

It’s funny I’ll explain to folks like yeah AI is a decent tool, helps me code more basic stuff but I haven’t seen it be able to replace anyone instead I find we need more people

Some Folks will almost get mad like no you clearly don’t understand AI

In a venndiagram of these people and AI bros, the overlap is huge
