I hear this all the time, but the software I use is becoming obviously buggier and less pleasant.

It seems most people are bad at evaluating the quality of their work, especially if they purchased it from Anthropic.

We use AI to write almost all our code in a fintech - trading applications. If the quality is low, bugs cause monetary loss. Degradation in performance causes monetary loss. And so on. It doesn't happen. We have very good functional and non-functional testing and the coding agents are able to iteratively add functionally correct features and improve performance.

I don't understand what other people are doing differently to get worse results. We cannot ever go back to humans writing this code, because our competitors will eat our lunch if we do.

I think there is a big industry push on "use AI to deliver features faster".

It could have also been a "use AI to test our product more", but I don't see that anywhere.

I hope you agree LLM's can actually help with quality, if used for that purpose?

		Who cares about the theory? The fact is that the world is now worse due to LLM use. And it's not just restricted to software. Everything I care about is getting worse. Dribbling about how it could theoretically be better doesn't help undo the damage. "Imagine how much fun we could have playing baseball", says the man with the baseball bat, as he kneecaps you.
