Yeah, if only QA vere not the first ‘replaced’ by AI 😠

    This isn't even a QA level thing. If you write any tests at all, which is basic software engineering practice, even if you had AI write the tests for you, the error should be very, very obvious. I mean I guess we could go down the road of "well what if the engineer doesn't read the tests?" but at that point the article is less about insidious AI and just about bad engineers. So then just blame bad engineers.

    Yeah, I understand that this case doesn't require a QA, but in the wild companies seem to increasingly think that developers are necessary (yet), but QA are surely not

    It's not even bad engineers, it's just squeezing of productivity as dry as possible, as I see it
