    > I’m going to make a prediction of my own… In the future we will see more and more companies proudly boasting their “NO-AI” policy as a competitive advantage. And they will be right

    I'm going to make my own prediction: this isn't going to happen

      I'll go one further: We'll see companies proudly boasting "no humans" as a competitive advantage and arguing letting humans do certain types of work is unsafe.

        Not a lot of shops these days are bragging about hand-writing machine code and a complete lack of automated testing. We had already automated so much before LLMs came into the picture.

          Neither of those mentioned is an equivalent in any way.

            Seems like a pretty large claim. Why does a binary exist here and not a continuum?

          Why would you brag abput this. Most places make perf products do not use llms to write all their code. This isnt rare. You people dont know much outside of webdev. There isnt a single defense outfit doing it lol.

        Yep.

        Just look at the growing gap in traffic accident rates between human and AI driven cars. Humans are losing.

          We should just throw in the towel now then, I guess.

          I don't disagree with you, but now what? Seriously - if we accept humans are just generally losing to AI now, what's the right thing for us to do now?

          I dunno. Lobotomy? Heroic amounts of debauchery?

          Any suggestions?

        I think we'll probably get both kinds of companies, but that they will both be fringe approaches, and the predominant choice will be to have humans working with AI tools.
