I have a lot of AI written software, and it doesn’t cost me anywhere close to what I’ve been quoted for other software projects in the past. I’ve had a guy spend over six months, full-time, on a CRUD application for permits. He didn’t even finish. I made a working prototype in Django, which was tossed to re-implement in PHP for some reason.
- avidiax 6mo agoMy understanding is that this is normalized to the "best human" for the tasks. An AI only doing a task correctly 50% of the time may in-fact be better than your N% chance of hiring a highly capable human for that task, and especially for contracting a human to a 1-2 hour task. But your successful use of AI is still predicated on a human who can judge output and break the work into smaller tasks that fit the skill ceiling of the AI, which is currently no more than tasks that take a skilled human 2 hours.
- GorbachevyChase 6mo agoFalse. That guy spent 6 months goofing off for something I can have in minutes. Nothing is a 1-2 hour task for a human working outside of a hobby. Procurement will involve half a dozen people at least and hours of meetings and scope development. And what quality assurance is provided in an hour? Your word? And this is better than my own vibes? I just want to put this plainly. Programmers are often completely delusional about their own productivity and nobody can reliably define work quality in the field. The whole field is a mess, and I’m glad product owners and users are finally being empowered.
