"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Idk, impoverished with access to education is quite a mix for hardworking individuals.
No doubt, but the tech firms in India that are bidding on outsourced software projects all have a toxic incentive to produce code very quickly and very cheaply. In an environment like that, I'm sure the pressure to use AI is extremely high.
That assumes the AI can produce acceptable code quickly, which I think is not likely.
I agree, but In my experience tech companies are willing to stretch the definition of "acceptable" far beyond what's responsible if it gives them a temporary boost on this quarter's earnings report. Is it sustainable? No. But corp-think has never held sustainability as a virtue.
A cubicle farm in India has no such incentive as a large tech company, they have to push out code quickly as you said.
