Mandatory don’t hate me: I am a massive AI and automation fan since 2008.
The problem right now is the barrier to create automation and use AI has reduced so much people are not deliberately making decisions about how these tools should work. This means the tools primarily focus on happy paths, and only get refined to the point that they do a “good enough job” and then are shipped. The other issue is people who don’t understand what they are building are shipping brittle and fragile solutions but don’t understand how that is an issue because the AI “just works”, however they get upset when it doesn’t scale.
The solution is to embrace AI and Automation, but slow down planning, architecture, error handling and testing.
This means we still reap the efficiencies but don’t ignore reality.
