My experience with dev ops folks was quite different. The more heavier a coder actually was seemed to correspond to higher levels of distain for ai. I felt it was useful but for many things you can get with a variety of addons to an ide. Auto commenting and suggesting fills and such. Its like similar to how to me the chatbots are just another level of abstraction in searching. looking at gopher to yahoo to google to this. Now manager types were so gung ho and believe the ai will be able to do the work as opposed to providing an assitant for a person. They think a less skilled person will be able to function as more skilled and to some degree that is true but its a thin vaneer. In actuality it takes more skill and discipline to me to asses and modify what it outputs.
Yes if they use AI the way the top suits who don’t understand it beyond the hype we are going to be in terrible (but sometimes hilarious) trouble in not that many years.
For a personal example, I use Salesforce software at a large company that distributes health products and the CEO recently boasted about how “60% of their work uses chatGPT” and anyone who has used the software can tell you it is not a good thing. The base functionality of the software isn’t even anything groundbreaking, I also use another program called NAV that does basically all the same thing but it’s not in a web browser and it doesn’t look as flashy (looks a lot more like Windows 98 and I love it for that) but it is so much more useable. Nonetheless our upper management wants to migrate everything to salesforce because it is more integrated with the whole MS office suite.
The only cool parts about this software were practically perfected by Chile’s cybersyn project in the 70s and fundamentally no different today.
Jesus Christ… That’s not something to be proud of
