haha i just remembered, there are people who don't use codex. and they, like, click things and type words. they do this for 8+ hours per day. oh my god.
i prefer talking about what AI can do because there's many awesome things it enables. but it's just annoying when people focus on making the claim that it can do 100% of things. because that's so easy to debunk β and just unnecessary.
people become so confident AI can do something that they mentally count it as already solved. then reality hits and it turns out to be a tedious process that AI can accelerate, but not magically eliminate.
Dunning-Kruger + manifestation = LLM psychosis.
forget the many things that you can fully automate with AI. i'm talking niche problem solving. think ancient legacy API surfaces that do not match their own documentation. achieving exact formatting in the shithole that is MS Word. this sort of thing really throws models off.
my ai agents stress-test my nightly builds 24/7. they write tickets when they find bugs. some of which only a 100% certified braindead person and no test suite could ever reach.
recently, i've been getting more tickets from my agents, and fewer bug reports from users.
technical ability can 100% disrupt workplace politics. my favorite thing about AI is that autists w/ willpower and an LLM can finally break through into the upper echelons and build real leverage. oh your boss wants to keep you small? build something that his/her boss uses daily.
