They are trying to kill CS with AI.
Software and Computer engineers are absolutely stupid expensive. And we're necessary, because so few people understand it, and even less want to put in the required work to do it.
Unfortunately for them, they don't understand it to the point where they inevitably push away the people they need to make use of AI tools, and cover the gaps that AI leaves.
Yeah, I've been playing around with some of the AI coding assistants as accelerators for data science projects. The one thing I've learned above all else is that this tech can speed up the process of coding, but it absolutely cannot replace computer scientists and engineers.
If you don't actually understand coding, AI will give you stuff that runs, but fucks up key details and/or doesn't actually do the thing you're asking correctly. It's hella dangerous.
