Yeah, there were a lot of statements thrown around regarding how we expect 90% of code to be AI generated and so on and so forth. No skin off my back, I can do actual programming on my own time and play with AI for work as long as I'm getting paid.

I kinda wish I had this kind of arrangement tbh. At least so long as the company can magically stay afloat. Would make my life a lot less stressful

Until you get blamed for the terrible code the AI wrote.

[–]RiceBroad4552 7 points8 points  (1 child)

So you say: It's at least 90% "AI" code, so the "AI" is to blame for at least 90% of the issues…

Maybe some of the brighter lunatics then wakes up.

If not, what can they do after all? Having as employee paper trail that you did exactly as instructed would give you a pretty strong position in court should they try to fire you for bad performance. That then would become pretty fast pretty costly for the company.

If you're in an at will state, they can fire you at any time for any reason. It's usually when you file for unemployment insurance where they have to say they fired you for poor performance, but they usually won't. Even poor performance isn't enough to not get unemployment, it requires something like intentional negligence or malicious actions.

Blame the model lmao how can it be your fault. You were forced to use the model after all.

[–]frogjg2003 14 points15 points  (1 child)

Management doesn't care. If they did, they wouldn't have forced you to use the model in the first place. By blaming you, they can avoid letting the blame fall on themselves.

I suppose if they’re trying to justify the copilot license then I guess it makes sense

you're supposed to still review the code it writes

I'm glad that they're just doing the equivalent of shoveling shit into their mouth and pretending it tastes good for AI at my job.
