The fact that companies with access to SOTA non-public AI keep having these kinds of dumb bugs in something as simple as a chat app helps validate my disbelief of people claiming AI is ready to replace all software development.

Precisely. I think everyone has been affected by the fearmongering and gaslighting to some dfgree. But step back and try and see whether software's getting better as a whole or going into reverse? OpenAI has basically unlimited internal compute and talent yet they screw this up amongst many other things. Shouldn't it be a 5 minute job for someone at AI to spin up a team of agents annd make sure this sort of thing never happens?

At a high level, most uses of AI I've seen seem to be people building other AI tools, orchestrators, managers, agent managers etc. But these are all means to ends. I mean I guess it's nice to play aroud with harnesses and command agents to do this and that, but where are the tangible outputs?

I just see so many people boasting of their token burn and the complexity of their agentic setup, yet they rarely show the actual outputs

Except leadership doesn't care about dumb bugs. Never has, never will (until it's too late). It cares about velocity and cost.

They'd totally replace all software development with worse AI software development in a heartbeat.

I prefer to work for myself with some quality standards than to be in a rush in front of a prompt (not that I do not use AI at all, I do, but not for generating code most of the time). I knew the future, at that time was basically: pressure for speed, taking ownership of course, even if they rush you. Wild-guess, probably with an AI, to add on top more trch debt. Make everything unmaintainable in the long term. So this was the perfect moment to show that things can be done in another way and quality can be kept higher than the competition bc what I am seeing lately is people throwing things in a rush. Better twopieces of well-crafted software than 10 pieces of unmantainable junk.

AI is ready to replace both jobs and companies.

The companies you see struggling are ripe for disruption.

So OpenAI the company making the AI and using it inhouse is ripe for disruption? What?
