Yea, I tried to use AI for my work, it seems to have zero clue about the software I asked about but it pretends it does. I think I'm safe.

Sounds good enough for my boss to me
Someone needs to make, and maintain AI systems.
AI can't exactly fix itself when it breaks.
Yup, they are only as good as their programming
Still bizarre to hear this. It's like they think the CEOs are gonna write a prompt. "Link customer data to visualization" and it's gonna preemptively collect the info and then create useful insight for their future products which will then be made by the AI
I'll start worrying about artificial intelligence when customers can generate requirements specific enough for actual intelligence to decipher.
Kinda hard to build a prompt when they don't even really know what they want until they've seen what they asked for.
Wait, y'all have parents that understand and/or care what you do for a living?
I spent a couple of years doing contract work in a team that built the APIs that ran behind a fairly complex site; they understood that I was helping build the site, but really didn't get that I had nothing at all to do with the UI or content, and yes thank you for your suggestions about the layout but that's not something that I can "just go fix it" because a) change control is a thing and b) that part of the site is maintained by an entirely different team, from a different company, and I don't have access to their source code
This image macro is clearly illustrating that they do not.
Mine care, but they have no idea what I do since the process of enterprise software development is totally foreign to them.
Could AI repair a bicycle?
That would be awesome.
Or "digest" a hoard of used bicycle parts and secrete assembled bikes.
We had an ai demo at work last Friday where we just were showing off a local running llm with some test input. Best part was the demonstrator had it output something unexpected and they were like "I've ran this twenty times and it has never said that". Lol. We're alright but it's incredibly useful already it's pretty exciting.
Any gains from LLM now would barely offset the complexity bloat introduced in enterprise applications in the last decade alone. And that’s not even taking into account the sins of the past that are only hidden behind the topsoil lair of cargo cult architecture.
After the report that codes made by the assistance of copilot are actually shittier than code written manually I'm feeling safe until the next breakthrough in AI development. Meanwhile I'm saving up gold for the eventuality.
