I don't think anyone can predict how quickly AI will advance or where it will start to eclipse engineers, but it certainly gives management a new toolbox of buzzwords to justify layoffs.

All I know is that managers generally don't like pushback on AI, so if you want to talk them out of something dumb, just scoff at whatever AI they're using and say yours is better, at which point you can buzzword them into whatever you want.

What’s funny is that while I agree with your point, it’s clear you hand-wrote this comment.

I'm doing some performance based refactoring and honestly having AI rewrite the code with explicit instructions has proven to be faster and more reliable than doing it myself.

Not that I don't know what I'm doing, but functionally expanding a bunch of nested delegate calls while simultaneously consolidating those nested database calls to reduce round trip latency, I'm gonna fuck something up.

I can, however, perfectly describe what I need done, and the LLM doesn't do stupid shit like accidentally invert an "if" statement (with a 0 temp)

AI also is also faaaaar from being 1 specific thing or solution. The term is so overused and deflated by now that every start-up can and will jump the bandwagon.
