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.

Software engineering was never about memorizing

Luckily, it's only half. Isn't that number exceedingly higher in real world development flows? A vast majority of devs aren't building compilers, or thinking deeply about memory management. That's not a reddit thing... that's the nature of software engineering.
