Tale as old as time right. Like the (horror story of a) boss that read a book and now thinks everything should be <insert buzzword>. Whether its a book, or AI, or a medium. Bad manager is going to bad manager. > Most of the people we spoke to noted that they do use AI in their work and personal lives, and believe it has value when used with caution and self-awareness. I think this is the crux. If we have this AI thing, how do we make human + AI this symbiotic relation? Because, in this article, clearly the answer isn’t “allow the manager to delegate their responsibilities to ChatGPT”.
People are idiots, yes, I do mean, we all are sometimes
Yeah. Personally don’t mind that at all. As long as we admit that we are idiots sometimes and try to make the best of the mess we created. Myself very much included ^^
I find it difficult to understand that people seem to stop thinking with every new shiny management thing. But here we are.
re:maintainability - to a certain extent this relies on someone having a theory of the system in their head. Any improvements in LLMs don't really affect that
The more I think about this the more I see two kinds of outcomes: 1/ stronger incentives, possibly legal, to distinguish AI code from human code 2/ important changes to the legal frameworks to deal with copyright, IP, and responsibility issues. And that's not an either/or, both will probably occur. For now all the little imperfections in our ways to deal with these issues today are being amplified by AI.
Meanwhile the amount of projects where human intervention is limited to the spec/design/plan phase increases.
Apart from open source, companies are still protected through contract and trade-secret law. So in general business I don't think suffers much from the loss of copyright on code generation. Because of that, I'm not sure it'll change. Generally laws around these things are designed to encourage the creation and innovation of new work through rewarding the creators with a path to monetization. I guess some businesses might need to hand out sources like for SDKs and libraries, or might be more worried about on-prem offerings if their code is public domain.
Hard to see how this will turn out, litigation from those that have something to defend is bound to happen though.
Ya, I'm just trying to think and I feel not many company anymore aren't protecting their code behind closed source APIs
But yes, it's all being figured out to some extent
