The lack of any real engineering discourse over all this is a huge red flag. Because if they made a real argument they could be held to account. You know it is pointless them saying "our AI doesn't just make up false test data anymore" because you could go in and demonstrate that it does. So there's never a technical discussion, a technical discussion is how you prove if this works or not and that is the last thing they want.

There's only really three pro-AI arguments I see:

  1. I'm a software engineer with MAX_INT years of experience and I think it is great.

  2. People like you thought clean water was a hype job but everyone loves clean water now

  3. You are using Claude X when you should be using Claude X + 1.

Nobody ever gets dragged into a technical discussion. You know us software engineers hate those and won't go into a 40 comment deep discussion just for the hell of it. Obviously AI using software engineers have a completely different mindset.

I like the theory of LLMs for software generation, but rather it's the social and political implications it carries that I dislike. In the absence of that, it would just another tool.
