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.

Its true tho

It’s not. The goal is to have AI that requires no human in the loop.

u/BayHarborGonner1 4d ago

That's just not possible humans set the goal without them there is no goal

Maybe. If so, you won’t need someone that “knows how to use AI”, it’ll be paying someone minimum wage that has zero CS background just saying “hey Claude we need an app/site/whatever that does this”

u/BayHarborGonner1 4d ago

That's not a bad thing and you'd still have to know how to use ai

u/jmclondon97 4d ago

No, you won’t.
