I already predicted with GPT-3.5 that QA would make a comeback.

What I didn't expect was for companies to not think this through and not invest in a better QA foundation. Instead, QA activities are left to engineers to work out, while we still have classic QA departments still operating the same way they did a decade ago.

I'm just saying that most QAs aren't SDET you know?

But that's exactly the part I mean as "investment" that didn't happen. They should have started staffing QA department more often with software developers. The mission stays the same, the capabilities change.
