  I’m guessing he’s saying companies are still using the same human written code, but since AI is sexy right now and is being used to describe even simple programming logic, everything is “powered by AI”

    And in 2013 the key word for marketing was algorithm. The YouTube algorithm. The reddit algorithm. Etc.

    That was true like 5 years ago, but now companies are just irresponsibly calling out to LLMs as a function without proper safe guards instead.

    Even more likely is that AI’s that write code are trained on human created code. So they aren’t coming up with new, novel ideas to problems in most cases, they are just a far more advanced “copy and paste from StackOverflow”

      “copy and paste from StackOverflow”

      I feel violated

        Hey just remember the classic Quora answer:

        quora.com/Why-should-I-hire-a-software-engineer-i…

        They are paying $100,000. $1 to copy and paste code from stack overflow, and $99,999 to know where and when to paste the code and how to make it work.

        Domain knowledge is real, and AI might level that up, but you’ll be hard pressed to find a junior engineer armed with the same tools as a senior engineer that gets dropped into a gig and can properly utilize AI or even StackOverflow to be on the same playing field. AI can write me a function. But to figure how how broken a legacy codebase is and how that function can solve an issue is why engineers are still valuable…for now

    I've heard this talk where I work. Senior plebs describing things that are obviously algorithms as AI. And this of course means we had AI before it was cool.

    Nothing new here. Buzzwords are the only thing senior managers can understand.

  That’s exactly the point. It’s just how companies market their products nowadays.

    I mean, true AI isn’t really a thing yet. People have been using AI wrong for a very long time now. Even ChatGPT isn’t real AI.

      Nobody can seem to consistently define what ai even means

        Inevitable. AI is Artificial Intelligence. Nobody can define intelligence, so how can they define an artificial variety?

        It’s a “gaps” problem.

        Creationism has the “god of the gaps” where every new fossil forces them to set the goalposts closer together.

        The people who think that human intelligence is something special have to adjust the spacing on the goalposts every time a corvid solves a new problem and every time someone figures out how to make a computer do something new.

  the computer wrote the 2nd one on accident when some asked it to bake a cake.
