The AI crash is impossible - Change my View

I don't care about code quality, I only care that it works.

Your AI slop will not work in live business use cases. Your AI slop could not even handle this forum traffic without corrupting the forum database and destroying itself.

One error in writing to the database would destroy this forum.

Yes, dropping agents into an existing (brownfield) production codebase is very risky, but a lot of that risk can be mitigated with good strategy. Getting agents up and running in a brownfield codebase is largely a project management and system design problem that requires lots of iteration and creativity. The problem is largely solvable, you just have to figure it out. 

You could instruct CC to write comprehensive test coverage for every database operation. Before anything touches a production db, you'd have a test suite confirming everything works right in staging. That's just one guardrail you could build into your agentic workflow.

As someone who uses AI in my work, it sure does make a ton of ridiculous errors and some truly odd reasonings. It almost is like a toddler you need to constantly coax and hold it’s hand, it gets exhausting, I don’t feel like I’m working less or am so much more productive. Maybe I am marginally more efficient? This shit is NOT replacing us en masse anytime soon.

The people hyping AI the most are effectively unemployed people who talk about it online a lot and the tech crowd believing their own hype and propaganda, they raise funds with their buddies and the dopamine rush they get from that blinds them of the truth.  

I can’t say I’ve met anyone with a real job or anyone actually employed having a substantial portion of their work taken over by the AI. They are burning a fuck ton of fresh water just to write their emails a bit faster. 

All those layoffs are speculation and because we are in a quiet recession on par with 2008. It’s not because AI has actually replaced anyone.

True, but it's accuracy is developing rapidly. It gets better over a few months rather then years. AI is accelerating. Just compare some AI image generation from 2023 to 2026. It gets a lot more realistic and makes a less anatomy mistakes.

Does it though (develop rapidly)? How does that actually pan out in relation to all the real world promises made? I’ve heard this before about how AI advances fast but it seems the only metric often cited is AI slop stuff like this. Yes it has gotten better at generating clips you can make funny videos from. Replacing people and radically changing all sorts of industries on a scale never before seen? I’m not holding my breath. I have no problem eating crow if I’m wrong. I’m calling the bluff now. It’s a bubble and there’s a huge wake up call coming.
