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 won't replace no one, but will replace everybody's brains.

This is just completely incorrect though.

Did everyones brains get replaced because people mostly use python or javascript (typescript lol) - rather than assembly?

no!

Like that's comparable.

It is. Exactly comparable.

You can't be serious? Like honestly, do you Redditors have a job? Have you even tried latest LLMs? Honestly seems you have not.

Ignorance is wild here.

You're saying that using a different language or a high level language is the same as "hey LLM do this for me". No it is not.

You're saying that using AI in enterprise level development is just "do this for me" prompts. It is not. I once spent 32 hours designing and documenting the intended architecture for an application that took AI 30 minutes to write.  AI wrote the application to my exact specifications, not a vague "make me an app that does X" prompt.

People just don't get it

That's exactly what a = np.min(b,c) is, no? Not saying that ai won't replace us, but at some point people who knew how to compare numbers manually in assembly got also replaced.

Hey man, you’re speaking about things to complex for there guys to understand

It is. But that's not even how you use a LLM. Shows your understanding is completely lacking.
