cowboys have been skipping steps and doing things lazily and poorly well before AI Of course, but I think not understanding what they’re committing is more dangerous than before (even allowing for the classic “I copied and pasted this from xxxx site"). This is also true when people are fully trusting AI to review code as well. We use AI for code reviews which I do find useful. It’s still wrong part of the time (sometimes ridiculously so). So far, it’s also failed to provide accurate documentation for various repos which seems like something rather basic. I’m not against all AI (though I do have ethical and environmental concerns with several of the commercial options). I will not have them write code for me, though. As for the future, we’ll just have to wait and see. I’ve seen a lot of AI budgets exceeded and/or cut. I do think it’s not there yet for a number of tasks but is suitable (again minus certain concerns) for others.
