    Ai definitely can’t replace many (if any) microsoft employees.

      I think shouldn’t is better to say than can’t. They are definitely going to try.

      Their hope is probably that AI can let current employees bear a greater workload so they can downsize.

        Ding! Any gains in productivity will mean more work for less people.

        Anyone who can’t see this coming - I have several bridges for sale.

      Microsoft support was already mostly useless. So, yeah, a useless AI probably could replace that, but it would also probably be more expensive.

      Frankly, with the garbage Microsoft is producing these days, and the rate at which the quality, for lack of a better word, is degenerating, I’m starting to consider if LLM slop might actually be less worse…

        Sam Altman makes money from people believing this.

            Right now at least, AI is being more of a headache than anything in coding. Microsoft itself was responsible for one such gaffe in May, as an actual coder had to tell the AI to fix an error, again and again, as each time it’d make a different mistake

        I use ChatGPT to write code fairly often. Because I don’t know how. ChatGPT never gets it right the first time, usually doesn’t get it right by the 10th try, and will never stop going down a robot hole of inaccuracy until I give up. The only success I have had in recent memory was getting some custom commands written in Karabiner for my desktop mice.
