This is why I've sided with the enemy and my career involves educating people on how to build AI automation.

I was afraid of AI coming from my job, so I decided to learn about it. And by learning about it, I learned its limitations, which are numerous.

Someday maybe it will be strong enough to take on an entire engineer – but it's going to be a very long time until that happens. If anything, I've spent more time screwing with prompts making sure that they're perfect to try to get better outputs. Really where I see our jobs going is prompt engineering, DevOps, and fine tuning

Absolutely. AI is really good at single tasks of specific types. For example, it's great for organizing your emails, or creating filler content for a website, or helping suggest responses for customer support people. And sure, it did an amazing job creating code for a Google spreadsheet so I could easily scrape radio websites for their competitions and win festival tickets for the seventh year in a row. But in all these things it's incredibly one dimensional, and still needs a human to guide it. People come to my demo calls thinking that AI agents are fully possible and capable. Nope, not yet.
