An entire department in my company was closed because “AI can do it”. Honestly, I wouldn’t say anything if AI could replace them, but it’s doing such a shit job the rest of us (including people it replaced) have to correct it.
DXC fired ALL of their IT technicians servicing the Redmond Microsoft campus and replaced them with “Phoenix”, an AI chatbot that would guide users into troubleshooting their own IT problems.
The Phoenix chatbot was immediately rejected by users and completely useless at executing its intended purpose.
DXC then scrambled to rehire the technicians they fired with no success, as they quickly moved on to new jobs. New hires struggled to understand the building layouts and room devices because there was no one to pass on that knowledge.
Soon thereafter, DXC lost their multi-million dollar contract and all the new hires who worked really hard to try to were summarily dismissed.
Sadly the AI will devalue the whole tech sector jobs. I have a colleague who isn’t very bright and their code is mostly AI generated and they don’t even understand what they are copying.
Only if their PRs are accepted. I don’t even care if your code is AI generated but you’d better be able to explain it and you’d better fix the fucking mistakes.
