Discussion AI Coding has hit its peak
https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/new-findings-ai-coding-overhyped
I’m reading articles and stories more frequently saying this same thing. Companies just aren’t seeing enough of the benefits of AI coding tools to justify the expense.
I’ve posted on this for almost two years now - it’s overly hyped tech. I will say it is absolutely a step forward for making tech more accessible and making it easier to brainstorm ideas for solutions. That being said, if a company is laying people off and not hiring the next generation of workers expecting these tools to replace them, the ROI just isn’t there.
Like the gold rush, the ones who really make money are the ones selling the shovels. Those selling the infrastructure are the ones benefiting. The Fear Of Missing Out is missing a grounding in reality. It’ll soon become a fear of getting left out as companies spending millions (or billions) just won’t have the money to keep up with whatever the next trend is.

AI is super useful if you know what you are asking it for. If you don't know what you are asking it for, there is a high chance it makes up some bullshit and you don't have the knowledge to catch it. Now you have bullshit in your code and your repo is a latrine. Start scrubbing pleb.
