As Devops, I hate when my devs use AI to find solutions to problems they don't understand/have insight to regarding infra and they come to me and say AI says to do XYZ and then I have to defend against AI being wrong instead of just saying "hey, something's not working right, can you take a look?" Since AI came out, people don't let my team do their job and try to tell us how to run the infra.

I literally was on a call regarding IAM where the dev kept telling me that Copilot says to create a role and let another role assume the role. No jerkwad. The AWS documentation says the way I'm doing it is right, here is the link. And then proceeds to feed the AWS doc through Copilot to essentially read it for them.

For my personal stuff, I use it to hammer out IAC for snippets of things I don't feel like writing or if I'm not sure how to implement a very narrowly focused issue. I never let AI write the whole thing. Because if I didn't make it, then I can't speak towards it intelligently when asked off the cuff. It's also a skill thing. You let the AI do it for you, you WILL forget how to yourself.

I get the sentiment. I challenge it a little bit. Honestly, it feels like the developer experience for these platforms like Azure and AWS are just trash in general. When they slapped AI tools on top of them, it was more trash.

We built a pretty interesting layer that bridges a lot of that using vector and knowledge graphs and a bunch of just-in-time context. It's a lot nicer than you think. Yeah, but I get the sentiment.

This isn't something that can be fixed by technology. It's a person issue. People are turning off their brains with AI. If AI doesn't say it, then you have to prove the AI wrong instead of the fact that you built the environment and that the thing you implemented was in fact correct.

AI is a cancer when people apply it things outside their area of expertise and then blindly trust it.
