imagine instead of ai it was your compiler
we all know they can have weird quirks but imagine the fail rates were like we are experiencing with current ai
would people keep these tools in their work flow?
if big business wasn’t so hard on to cut labor the answer would be a hard no
except using your metaphor, everyone using the hammer has the same problems, and it is using said hammer as advertised, regardless of what we all know should be best practices
there have been multiple big fuck ups now and i think the reason why matters less than the fact the cause will not improve any time soon
everyone using ai says some variation of this
acting like they do proper code review on this ai gen code but we’ve had so many examples of how people well before ai carried massive tech debt and cut corners so I have zero faith
much less the numerous examples of slop laden bugs making it to live with major companies in the us
ai just amplifies and obfuscates the problem
banality of evil
you’d think they’d be better at it by now
seems pretty simple to me
