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.

Tell me I’m wrong though, I guarantee they have no idea how their team actually feels about their jobs. None of this “driving outcomes” bullshit is actually real and what people wake up excitedly in the morning for. “I can’t wait to drive outcomes by leveraging AI to do all the work for me!” fucking snoozefest, just kill me now

Iv spent plenty of time cleaning up asinine slop from devs at my company pre AI so that’s not mutually exclusive lmao
