people will just have to get used to software being unreliable garbage

I can't wait to get older as infrastructure becomes more heavily reliant on AI. I'm sure healthcare and air traffic control will be super reliable in the future at this rate.

Every single platform that's started this heavy AI push using non-engineers has experienced massive issues within short order.

Why the fuck would you not want a software engineer with an AI agent instead of a "non technical" specialist with an AI agent? They don't even know how the code is supposed to look.

Programs worked perfectly well before we introduced AI. How many web apps do we have to shit out to justify all of these firings? What new functions are people clamoring for. How is this not a cancerous mind-set to create as much as possible as fast as possible?

You forgot to mention the part where the failure was on Amazon's end and had absolutely nothing to do with AI or firing useless people, but a plain old cooling failure.

it's going to be funny with ATM AI telling you the money you just received disappeared because hum huh oh fuck no backup. COBOL ERASED BRRRR

How do these people get in charge? Every single AI company will give you a disclaimer that AI can and will make mistakes, if there's no technical people involved who's supposed to tell whether the text the AI shitted out is correct or not?

Managers are supposed to be experienced in the job they're managing but the reality is most are not.
A product manager should be able to deliver a product if they utilize AI.
The reality is that most workers (at least in software) are self sufficient and self organizing.
Meaning that the workers handle both the planning, coordination, and execution of production, when they're only responsible for the last part which should be replaceable by an AI.
Managers without insight into the product they're developing can't plan or coordinate its development for real, so even if they can no longer execute themselves, they also can't with an AI either.
When you tell a team of human programmers "alright rockstars we're gonna ship improvements and enhancements this quarter :sunglasses::cheers:" they can come up with a plan on their own. The AI will just be like "yaaasss queeen"

Fake news. AWS takes the blame many times for these incidents.

i've yet to see a PM who is competent on the technical part. Even the ones who come from coding forget everything over the years. These are the guys who are most likely to fall for dunning-kruger ai workflows.
>>
>>108783087
if i was working at a company likely to replace me with ai i would be constantly making superfluous benign inefficiency edits, things an llm will correct when they point it at the codebase because every instance of correction is a chance it borks something.
