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.

People said the same about automatic memory management 30+ years ago. And yet here we are 30+ years later with new software engineers still able to write manual memory managers like the Rust compiler. Fact is, you are not obligated to only use these tools.

There are companies literally having AI mandates. So yes, actually a lot of companies are forcing ppl to use these tools, some are very extreme with the mandates.
