This was discussed here recently, with many people directly affected and working in tech weighing in. The impression I took away:
“We’re using more AI” is a guarantee to make the stock go up. So on some shareholder meeting they decided that company policy is to use more AI. Whatever you do, just use more AI. And that gets handed down to the actual coders - those that didn’t get fired.
I heard ridiculous shit like using one of the big LLMs to make web searches or read your mail, just to fill the quota.
Next question: why is “more AI” a guaranteed stock raiser even though there’s no usable product? Because the US government is in cahoots with Big Tech to the point they become indistinguishible.
