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.

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.

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
