> It's becoming a pattern: Teams use AI to rapidly build impressive demos. The happy path works beautifully. Investors and social networks are wowed. But when real users start clicking around? That's when things fall apart. Oh no. We will have to endure another sort of AI slop infesting the web? It's bad enough as it is. Most smaller web sites are already broken in tiny ways. Who hasn't had to break out the browser debugger just get past some web sites broken order page? Sloppy reviews, images, chat bots, and phishing are everywhere now. In this brave new world someone no computer experience tinkering a home with can produced a beautiful looking web site that's broken it 1000's of ways, we are going to be overrun with this crap. And they are going to be harvesting login email addresses and passwords. It's going to be a rough decade.

> Last year, we saw that about 75% of developers use some kind of AI tool for software engineering I heavily doubt that if I look left and right. They are prompting them in a browser, but few have adopted AI in their toolchain yet. > “Software engineers are getting closer to finding out if AI really can make them jobless” It might indeed partially work if people are able to describe a problem and prompt an AI. Do they know how to describe a problem and prompt an AI, rhetorical question? In practice is does indeed allow other engineers not in software to churn out some scripts and they mostly are of good or at least decent quality. But for complex work or integration, the AIs just lack any context that is needed for the specific problem to be solved. Still, AIs do help the developers themselves.
