Tale as old as time. Corpos try to get you dependent and then give your business an atomic wedgie.
watch me go back to debugging like a real engineer: copying and pasting from stack overflow
Stack overflow is not what it used to be
at this rate, it will be
Amen
The good news is that none of the companies pushing these products have created the dependency yet, and they are running out of venture capital almost too fast to have the option.
I really hope you're right. My employer is using it as a crutch. I don't think they can stop using AI because they just don't have enough skilled employees to deliver on their commitments. They would pay nearly any price, and I'm sure they're not alone.
Literally any price except paying skilled employees.
That costs actual money though
For the cost of one employee you can give 5 employees AI and tell them to work 10x faster while they have to wrestle the stupid AI.
You aren't wrong, but even if LLMs didn't exist, employers would invent a scapegoat to make the same demands of their employees.
