For the record, actual software engineers can instruct AI in a way that doesn't make spaghetti of their projects. They thoroughly review and polish before committing the code. Which makes AI coding far more useful to those wielding that power.

But I know I'll just be down voted for speaking truth on this platform, so go ahead and smash that button folks.

    So you don't think there's any correlation with Microsoft saying they're increasing their AI code and the significant increase in bugs / poor performance on their OS?

    After laying everyone off, I'm not sure they have anyone left to instruct the AI competently. It was never a great organization for talented engineers anyway (not saying they didn't have any but that the ones they did have would always be underutilised)

    I agree wholeheartedly with this. Just because AI made the concepts accessible to novices doesn't mean they have the temperament or experience to not make a mess.

    AI has been a huge boon for our development but we also have people that know how to build software, review code, manage commits, follow architectural guidelines, and call out junk when they see it.

    Having AI blindly write you a crappy application doesn't make you a "developer" any more than having Excel makes you an "accountant."
