At least for what we do in engineering, it’s amazing how much it can assist when used in the right context. That said, it’s a “use but review” approach, although that is no different than if an engineer didn’t have the tool. Everything must be reviewed by people. There’s so much busy work, especially when it comes to writing requirements and test cases - where the process of writing by AI is far beyond any human, in terms of speed.

We’re also using it to translate documentation from engineers where their English is sub-par (2nd language), basically rewrite so we have a consistent reading level.

I suppose my argument is, yes it’ll mess up - but when do humans not? What is the error rate in any job done by a human? For us, it’s not replacing people, it’s making them more productive. I still need dozens more people. Although there’s definitely clerical positions that might be at risk.

What a stupid article. “Rapid revenue acceleration” is not the only measure of success. There is immense productivity growth in the vast majority of cases using these co-pilot tools.

There will be an “AI Crash” in the markets.

It will be an epic disaster.

Yep, I am basically thinking of moving to all Cash in my 401k to ride it out. Tech bubble is going to pop, big time.

Companies are run by stupid people.

No doubt, ask Eastman Kodak. Which is fine, America is built for competition, experimentation etc - so you will have losers even if the loss is caused by idiot management.
