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.

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