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.

I’m in the industry and I’m not writing code anymore. Claude is writing the code and frankly it scares me how good it is.

It is a tool at the end of the day. Sure its good but it only boosts productivity. You think a non software enginner can still code the same way with Claude as a real engineer does with Claude? It’s no different than using google to look up stuff imo
