They'd have to know how to use a computer to know that...

And if they knew how to use a computer, they wouldn't be using AI to do their job.

A big thing no one is talking about, is how each worker's goal here isn't to build a fully functioning thing, it's to make something "good enough" that it gets off your desk and is no longer your problem. It doesn't matter if the "creator" knows how it works or even if it works. Just enough to get a rubber stamp from your manager, then they move on to a new one.

Since most "AI coders" will just keep typing "try again" till it works, eventually they'll get something that "works", we won't fully realize the damage for a while

But pretty soon shit is going to start breaking all over and no one will know how to fix it besides typing into an AI "try again". No corp or government will pay humans to start over with something maintainable...

And this is the most boring way possible we get to War Hammer 40k

Just a reminder that real devs are using AI, and even vibe coding because the alternative is unemployment. I agree with the sentiment, though.

The number of large scale 4the party outages in the last year or ves this is already happening.
