I have to admit, some sw engineers are horrified by the applications that business people want to use generative AI for, and some are keen.
But even the podcasters that talk about AI are saying it is not ready for prime time. Then they narrate or play a rah-rah ad. It's quite disorienting. But they need the money I guess.

@vie@hachyderm.io @bjb@fosstodon.org Most of my peers, when they use AI, treat it as a power tool. None of them think it will do their job; it's more about whether or not it will make them more productive in the same way that an IDE with refactoring tools would. (IM reluctant E, maybe a little bit in some very narrow cases *if* you're careful and understand the problem well.)
