This says as much about the kind of tasks these people are being given and the whole organization of the company as it does AI's capabilities. This does not make rat penis implant recipient Mark Zuckerberg look as good as he probably thinks it does.

From hunter gatherer society to day, every time a new technology comes along that claims to make life ‘easier,’ it pushes us further into being slave-adjacent. We have phones, ChatGPT, Google, and smartphones—but for what? We end up working more and more. The greater the technological progress, the more our lives are exploited to generate profits for our corporate overlords.

ChatGPT will save you time but your boss will now demand you to greatly up your productivity to match this fabulous new technology. Now you’re working even more for the same or less pay!

AGI, in its final form, will turn us into slaves in its final form, and yet we’re cheering it on. This is madness.

I recall a similar environment at Google where a lot of the software work was very tedious, on-the-rails work.

There's going to be a whole new industry on reliability if this becomes reality. I wonder how "you build it you run it" would evolve. Would we end up with ops figuring out how to remediate the code?. Would the remediation be done by whoever opened the ticket? Would the person who accepted the PR/MR be held accountable for this?.
