Is this what AI psychosis looks like? How can anyone that is a half decent programmer actually believe that English + non-deterministic code generator will replace "traditional" programming?
Your whole history is AI psychosis btw, seek help.
And how much is technical debt worth?
So far it's just AI doom posting, hype bloggers that haven't shipped anything, anecdotes without evidence, increase in CVEs, increase in outages, and degraded software quality.
And there are studies on this subject, like the MITRE study that shows that development speed decreases with LLMs while developers think it increases speed.
Where is all this new software and increased software quality from all this progression?
Anything that proves that LLMs increase software quality. Any software built with an LLM that is actually in production, survives maintenance, doesn't have 100 CVEs, that people actually use.
It shows, increased outages, increased vulnerabilities, windows failing to boot, windows task bar is still react native and barely works. And I have spoken to engineers at FANG companies, they are forced to use LLMs, managers are literally tracking metrics. So where is all this amazing new software and software quality or increased productivity from them?
> The difference in pace of shipping with and without AI assistance is staggering.
Lets back up these statements with some evidence, something quantitative, not just what pre-IPO AI marketing blog posts are telling you.
So far the only output is the "How I use AI blogs", AI marketing blogs, more CVEs, more outages, degraded software quality, and not much of shipping anything.
Is there any examples of real products and not just anecdotes of "I'm 10x more productive!"?
You can give a developer the GCC test suite and have them build the compiler backwards, which is how this was done. They literally brute forced it, most developers can brute force. It also literally uses GCC in the background... Maybe try reading the article.
Ah yes, the brain is as simple as predicting the next token, you just cracked what neuroscientists couldn't for years.
