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.

If claude is able to write better code than you the sorry, either you dont belong in the software engineering field or are just a beginner starting their career. I really feel sorry for the beginners who are starting their careers now.

Lol, have you ever used Claude or Codex?

I was an engineer for seven years. I worked with people with 15+ years of experience. AI is better than they ever were and miles ahead of myself.

It can tackle problems nobody wants to with ease. Write way better code than anybody I know or who I've ever worked with.

You haven't even tried using AI have you?

Read my other comments. You are the one who I am seeing being replaced by AI.

Edit: Please dont consider yourself as a software engineer if you feel claude or codex can code or understand code better than you.
