Same old story: the LLM code is crap and people are having to work harder to cover for the LLM's mistakes.
Shocking.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

It's almost as if we're rediscovering outsourcing all over again. Every time a company I have worked for outsourced code we 100% of the time had to either ditch to project all together or rewrite the code ourselves, thus negating all the money "saved" by outsourcing. I see the exact same thing happening with AI now.
And experts like me getting told to fear for their job. Yeah well guess what? You just pissed me off and have to pay more and I'm more required and requested than ever.
executives who cant be trusted to hit the save button on an excel spreadsheet forcing developers to use LLMs to cut labor costs deserve the code that is produced
LLMs make programming take longer while also making it more fragile and difficult to maintain. This is well established by the data. The people in charge of these companies are worse than stupid, they are dangerous.
This isn't just a "people in charge" problem. Way too many developers are part of the problem by using LLMs for the wrong problems.
You end up just telling the AI exactly what you want in excruciating detail, and it still might not get it right (it probably won't).
It's more like the AI is promoting you to just write the code.

Oh No!
Who could have foreseen this highly unexpected outcome?
