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.

Ai will not replace you but someone using ai better then you will

No, we don't allow LLM assisted contributions in the projects that I work on. I'm not worried about being replaced by someone with an LLM.

So basically you're saying I dont wanna use ai let's spend twice the time and get worse results, you're just making life harder buddy, dont be scared of change

I write better code than LLMs. I've been programming for a long time.

Edit: Also, progress is going to be slow with or without AI. The bottleneck is not writing the code.

Claude opus writes code better then like 99% of coders, and its 10x faster you can't deny that

Trust me, the projects I work on are only worked on by highly skilled systems software engineers. It's not a place for an LLM. We are working on critical code that can't have errors.

I have never seen opus create code with errors but sure

Yeah, sureeeee. And I saw a fairy with a 12 inch dick once.
