I am going to gleefully watch some of those companies burn when seniors retire or move on and there is no one left with enough experience to supervise AI code or beginner level coders.

Ahh reminds me of when I was a fresh CS grad working at Dominos
Now they get to spend the next 5-10 years realizing they are slaves and everything adults have told them about the economy, work, and fairness was cope from those adult slaves.
Don’t believe everything you read in the NYPost.
The “pick yourself up by your bootstraps” folks ordering a burrito. Bootstrap?
Economists and industry executives say the hiring slowdown is also tied to post-pandemic overstaffing, aggressive cost-cutting, high interest rates and widespread hiring freezes.

a tiktok video about overhyped topic
News editors: Let's go ahead and publish another "news" article about a TikTok video on an overhyped topic!
Almost all companies deploying generative AI don't see their revenue change significantly. AI is not the money maker people claimed it was going to be.
AI is not the money maker people claimed it was going to be.
When people make claims about what "AI" is going to do in the future they're talking about Artificial General Intelligence - not Large Language Models.
While I agree with you, its that very misunderstanding that bosses and owners have, and they'll fire regular folks and replace with ai. They may suffer lower quality and even catastrophic failures but it will take time for them to realise and rehire people. All those regular folks will be out of work during that time.
They're just trying to make AI sound successful, just like the overlords want them to.
I am more inclined to think they just want ragebait articles and AI is a current easy target
Yeah, these types of stories are advertisements directed at the landlord class. "Look, AI means fewer icky employees to have to put up with! At last, business without labor!"
Yeah this article is functionally an ad for coderabbit.
It is successful. On what planet are you living?
The one where every LLM-generated shell script I read is another deep splinter in my fingernail quick that I have to rip out and destroy because it's a godfucked mess of bad practices that we can never ever ever ever EVER train out of an LLM at this point.
Lemmy bubble stronk bubble :)
I honestly do not understand the absolute blatant ignorance of this seeming dichotomy of nobody wants AI or LLMs and AI is replacing our jobs and LLMs are making everyone stupid.
this seeming dichotomy
The solution is that you are in a bubble. A lot of people like it :)
Coding AI is like hold my beer. Folding an over priced burrito not so much.
