Why hire someone.. when AI can do things better then a human

The minute I hear that sentence my inner voice be like... "TOH KAR NA πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ"

Even though AI knows many things and is more efficient than humans, it still needs human assistance to verify whether the response it provides is actually what the client wants. If not, changes need to be made. Understanding the business or its requirements is not enough; you should also understand how the application works.

The other day, one of my colleagues (a designer) created a simple static website using Antigravity. He faced an issue and eventually me for help. When I reviewed the code, I found that it was built using React and TypeScript. It took me 3–4 hours to debug and finally resolve the issue. When I tried to explain this to him, his response was, β€œIf it’s working, then I don’t care which technology it is using.”

Finally, I told him: Why build a lift or an escalator to reach the terrace when your house has only a ground floor?

It's just an overhyped balloon to burst.

No, if you’re a good software engineer, you can definitely use these GenAI tools properly for a solid productivity boost.

So at least for that one use case, these tools are here to stay. Essentially, GenAI code completion and AI agents will become a default feature of all IDEs in the long run

This scenario perfectly captures the situation with AI technologies in the world today.

Businesses don't care about technology, they just want their business processes and business goals achieved.

So they will try to leverage AI technologies as much as possible to do it at minimal cost. But AI generated code is not perfect, so then businesses will have to hire and pay for some human engineers to fix and maintain it.

That that is the equilibrium state of the love triangle between business, AI, and engineers, that will continue πŸ˜„
