Real talk. AI isn’t the problem. AI is nothing but a tool. It’s corporate greed that is the problem.
I use AI. It’s a fantastic tool. My QA time is slashed in 1/2. Reports that I have to do weekly is done so quickly, it might as well be instant. What used to take my 6 hours. Instant. . Everything is more efficient.
But it doesn’t replace humans. It just shifts the tasks. Instead of building reports and power points, I’m spending more time training my junior devs. It frees up my time to do other tasks is more important.
AI is just a tool and no tool is inherently bad per se.
but this one has been built fully unethically and it’s causing so much harm in the world that said argument can’t really be applied here (most) AI is bad.
100% agree. The best a lowly peon like me can do is to try and hire junior devs instead of replacing them. Managers like me have to incorporate it into the teams workflow. If I don’t do it, I don’t have a job.
Not sure the nature of the QA you perform but as somebody who was forced to use AI QA for a bit in a ticketing system for support purposes, my 2 cents is: don’t.
I did the exercise for 2 months where I double checked all the stuff it spewed as summaries of actions, recommendations, wrap up info and applied codes vs stuff that was actually happening in the tickets, it was consistently inconsistent and while on the surface as a quick check it looks fine, the moment any scrutiny is applied it falls apart.
