I (like most devs) could always crap out low quality contributions very fast before LLMs, they could just lower the standards like they are doing now and they can see productivity and tech debt going 10x
What’s even funnier (at least in my current workplace), the budget for LLMs is capped at 20 usd monthly per dev, I can go though that in a 2 hours session with Opus. So make up your fucking mind, do you want the 10x output (and tech debt)? or you don’t?
I cannot for the life of me understand AI mandates.
Who doesn’t want to be able to get their work done easier? Nobody.
Then it follows you shouldn’t have to tell your employees to use a tool if it makes them however much as productive as CEOs think that tech demo should make them.
I think it’s pretty obvious that at the exec level AI is the ultimate hoodwinking machine. It’s made 90% of them look like the out of touch morons they are. The 10% or whatever that aren’t trying to force this down their staff’s throats in the hopes they can replace said staff are coming out smelling like roses.
Don’t fit a square peg in a round hole.
Every fucking customer hates our AI answering the phone. Yet USAA insist that customer use it. A lot of customers have told me they are considering going somewhere else for insurance over it.
Unfortunately I think most of the another use it too. At least with All state, progressive, and state farm and some other have local agents. But can promise the Allstate one only do sales you got issues or questions they direct to customer service that uses AI to answer the phone.
Fuck up part we all using the same AI tool even phone companies.
