Even if only a third of this crap works

It's even possible the messes from coerced AI makes will create lots of clean-up jobs later. Managers pressure employees to use AI, and most will satisfy their token quota to keep their job, but not necessarily with sound engineering and quality control in mind.

It's roughly comparable to using more RAD tools to make non-trivial apps (pre-AI). It can be done "good enough", but is usually a longer-term maintenance headache: penny-wise-pound-foolish. Similar happened with the outsourcing craze roughly 15 years ago. Many regretted it.

Comment Software patents a net drain to econ (Score 1) 23

It is lazy lawfare.

Patents on software are a net drain of resources on our economy. Most software "inventions" are not in giant Edison-like labs, but situational happenstance. As an incentive system, it sucks. And the patent office can't tell the rare gems from trash patents such that the net result is waste on trash patents.

Nukem!
