Most of it doesn't require AI. You could generate automation scripts that do that, except of customer support.
People became dependent on AI in places where it never was required and now tech bros are doing the squeeze.
AI is incredible at finding patterns in otherwise benign stdouts, let alone as it cross-references data streams.
In theory, I don't need most of these automations. But for $200/mo? I will happily reduce my cognitive burden on stuff that doesn't impact the core business and make it easier to keep things gliding smoothly.
When the subsidized plans disappear, I will keep these automations going with the best small models that fit on my laptop.
But I'm a human - I will miss things. I maintain too many apps to have entire codebases in memory at this point. Or to continue monitoring all these streams. Logging is cheap - I log as much as possible because an AI will scan it for me.
I just want scoped pull requests to review proactively against the slew of things that can happen in prod that I didn't account for in my specs (again, from logs, customer issues, etc). I discard most of them. That is fine.
Kicking the can down the road for now.
