AI regularly hallucinates API endpoints that don’t exist, functions that aren’t part of that language, libraries that don’t exist. There’s no fucking way it did any of this bullshit. Like, yeah - it can probably do a mean autocomplete, but this is being pushed so hard because they want to drive wages down even harder. They want know-nothing middle-managers to point to this article and say “I can replace you with AI, get to work!”…that’s the only purpose of this crap.
I think there is less of a conspiracy, and it’s just pushing investment. These AI articles sound exactly like when the internet was new and most people only had a cursory experience with it and people were pumping any company if they just said the word internet.
Now that “Blockchain” has been beaten to death, they need a new hype word to drive mindless investment.
