Same thing happened during the outsourcing craze of early 2000s. Everything and I mean everything moved to India or Philippines. There's even a movie about it because it was so common. I and everyone else lost our jobs. about a year later the contracts expired and we all got jobs back and outsourcing is used in balance. Eventually ai use will be balanced I hope. It cannot replace us. Not yet anyways.
AI needs to be used as a tool for workers, not a replacement for workers. They will figure it out eventually.

essentially, from what I've been dealing with, most if it is their offshore people using the AI to completely do the job from start to finish and no one is verifying anything. So it's not even vibe coding, it's "here's a prompt, build it, i'm pushing it to production" coding.
LOL, sort of like hiring the CEO's unemployed brother in law to build your new factory because he has a friend who knows about construction.

To be fair, 0.2 + 0.1 = 0.30000000000000004

AI as it exists today is only effective if used sparingly and cautiously by someone with domain knowledge who can identify the tasks (usually menial ones) that don't need a human touch.
The biggest point is that you must be an expert in the field you are using it in. I rarely get fooled by hallucinations and stupid bugs because they are glaringly obvious to me. The best use case is having the llm write code for using a library that has poor documentation, that am going to use once, and I am too lazy to learn.
These tools are scary when used by juniors, they are creating more work for everyone by using llms to code. I just imagine myself using this when I was a fresh grad, it is terrifying. It would have only been one step up from vibe coding. -

This is the best description of current AI I've seen so far.

I feel so fortunate that I'm well into my career and can use AI responsibly without having to worry too much about it.

In the situation outlined, it can be pretty effective.

We've hired a bunch of Indian guys who are using AI to do their work... the results are marginally better than either approach independently.
Absent Indians using AI? The AI ouroboros?

it doesn't look like just a gimmick anymore.
It still does
There is no value in arguing about subjective topics. Feels useful to me if you know how to use it, used to generate one of the worst and random pieces of code you could create.
