What is the correlation between "writing code" and product management getting better?

#12I signed into Zapier yesterday for the first time in a while. You can seemingly run their entire UI right now via AI. I typed a simple idea into their AI box, and it created a multi-step "zap" for me that was more-or-less what I wanted.
So at least some software is getting better.

#13It has been around for what, a year?
This was my first reaction. It hasn't been that long and giant ships can't change course quickly.
And for much of that year there were a lot of questions around the ownership of AI generated code as well as information security. In fact, most of those questions are still not satisfactorily solved. So I'm not so surprised that we haven't seen massive results "yet"

#14Why would there be a correlation between how fast something is developed and its quality?
Assuming that AI is helping developers to write more code, it could mean:
* there are fewer developers
* developers are working less
* the efficiency gains are resulting in more products being created rather than existing products being improved
* AI isn't widely enough adopted or used to make enough of a difference
* the benefits are too recent to be measured

#15My experience with AI as a coding parter is yes, great at just doing boring things like take this list and give me an enum or add a form for this class etc .. but when I do anything remotly advanced it breaks apart, especially bad at dotnet where there are 25 years worth of history it source code from .. often it creates somthing that is long out of date, and jesus it tried to rewrite the same code ten times to solve a problem that was not supported by framework and could not be solved. So yea .. give it some years I guess. Still use it daily and I still need to fix Ai generated bugs ..

#16Was just thinking this same thing this morning.

#17I'm a designer=engineer, and I feel like AI has given me super powers. Design has always been easy for me--it was just the incredible grind of coding that made creating my own thing difficult.
