AI code increasingly leads to production failures

I’m hoping to exit the industry (eg., retire) as soon as is practical. It’s just not fun any more and this was the shit-icing on the cake for me.

Now, LLMs being used to check for vulnerabilities… that I’m not really against, machine-learning is good at pattern recognition and it seems to be legitimately useful at that from what I’ve heard.

But as ‘intelligence’ or a trustworthy search mechanism for retrieving and re-synthesizing (note I did not use the words ‘authoring’ or ‘creating’) anything more than simple standalone functions? Nope, nope nope. Too many hallucinations and I didn’t fall in love with programming and computer science only to end up being a reverse centaur, slaving away at prompts to actively steer a stochastic slot-machine into writing the proper code for a task.

I think it’s one of the worst things that happened to humanity.

Even if you somehow want to convince yourself that the social and technological damage it causes are not so bad, the environmental impact is just the last nail on the coffin of humanity.

We’ll all die for shitty chatbots.

Try to resist a little bit more. The second AI winter is months away from now.

oh yea, not only that , conventions centers are mostly peddling AI TECH startups right now to stave off the bubble burst. i wonder how many tech employees going to these know AI is total BS, or to make thier bosses happy under the threat of getting a future layoff.

Same here. I’m looking at all my other hobbies and trying to see which one would be the best… Unfortunately I doubt I could get anywhere near the same salary unless I find a way to start my own successful business out of one of them. That sounds just as stressful though lol

I was trying to think of the same thing and came up blank.

Time to update the price list if AI touched it?

Ohh, I would be glad. We would finally see how fragile the internet really is and hopefully it will spawn a better internet

Don’t worry the Chinese economy has been groomed to take over. They already make all of our shit anyway, And we’ve trained all their scientist and engineers and our western education so they have all the knowledge that we have already.

skynet achieved self-awareness, and AI. LLM arnt even close. let alone these ceos want Cylons too.

I fucked it up at step one by not bring born to rich parents. I really should have started the grindset mentality sooner by being born to rich parents.

Edit: I’m doing fine, but if I had planned ahead better, I could be doing “zero consequences” fine.

Chatgpt told me this wasn’t possible!

It was established decades ago that

It’s harder to read code than to write it.

• Joel Spolsky

and

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

• Brian Kernighan

Having lots of code appear out of thin air isn’t really of any help in making functional systems.

Shhhh don’t tell them, European bank are introducing AI in their process want to see capitalism fail ? Let some dedicating AI manage that. Then when it broke they have nobody to fix.

Where’s that chart that shows that like 40% of all the llm data comes from reddit.

yeah they are product managers who can’t understand why their shit requirements are rejected by the dev team and now have access to some tools that will inflate their Denning Kruger syndrom by several orders of magnitude.

And them, boom, production.

Yeah but a LLM vetted the code, so it’s all good.

and it won’t be me paying for it.

Damn. What’s it like living on another planet? Cause that’s the only way that statement makes any sense.

You can’t personal responsibility away the failures of the system, my man
