The line right after this is much worse:
> Coding performed by AI is at a world-class level, something that wasn’t so just a year ago.
Wow, finance people certainly don't understand programming.

It's very useful if you have the knowledge and experience to tell when it's wrong. That is the absolutely vital skill to work with these systems. In the right circumstances, they can work miracles in a very short time. But if they're wrong, they can easily waste hours or more following the wrong track.
It's fast, it's very well-read, and it's sometimes correct. That's my analysis of it.
Of course it is mind blowing for them.
This sentence and the rest of the post reads like an horoscope advice. Like "It can be good if you use it well, it may be bad if you don't". It's pretty much the same as saying a coin may land on head or on tail.

Citation needed. Even with specific examples, “follow the patterns from the existing tests”, etc copilot (gpt 5) still insists on generating tests using the wrong methods (“describe” and “it” in a codebase that uses “suite” and “test”).
An intern, even an intern with a severe cognitive disability, would not be so bad at pattern following.
You get what you pay for.
Except six months ago n-1 was n and the boosters were busy ruining their credibility saying that their garbage tier AI was world class and making them 10x more productive.
Today’s leading world-class agentic model is tomorrow’s horrible garbage tier slop generator that was patently never good enough to be taken seriously.
This has been going on for years, the pattern is obvious and undeniable.
