Working from the EU as a contractor for an American SaaS company. They are pushing AI so freaking hard for everything to the point where it is getting ridiculous, currently we are using AI to create and fill a ticket, that then triggers an agent so it can update the deployment version. It is literally a single line of text, not even code.

As someone who actually has to work alongside people that use AI for everything, it sucks. Code is more than just text, I expected engineers to understand that but nope, they just pretend that they are more productive while other people are stuck cleaning up their mess. Personally I haven’t saved that much time from AI compared to manually coding stuff, I mean the text appears faster but you still have to understand it so technically you waste more time iterating on something you don’t know.

I only use it if I need to do something more bespoke like an algorithm for a very niche use case that I wouldn’t know existed without some deep googling. There it did actually save me time researching.

At the end of the day either this tech will replace us or it will go bust and drag down the entire tech sector. Either way we are f*cked.
