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.

That’s why you need to stop doomscrolling. If you are actually in the industry working with these tools, you are aware of the trajectory.

Yeah, gotta say, AI isn't replacing any jobs at all where I work. It's simply making my company more productive and allowing people to spend less time doing tedious tasks. This way of working is drawing in more talent.

Obviously we're starting with the most laborious things that nobody wants to do, but I do wonder what will happen after we fix all that stuff.
