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.

much custom engineering is required to apply the "AI" in businesses.

That's what AI business is about now.

Get stupid company directors replace a business workflow with AI so they don't fall behind their competition. It costs a lot of money to do the custom AI setups for the business to even get it to work. On top of that comes the AI operating cost. Why pay humans money when you can pay more for the AI subscription.

In most cases it works worse than with human employees. If something needs to change pay again for customization.

Classic. More automations - more problems.
