Why isn't AI improving software? I thought it was meant to augment a devs skills

What kind of software are you talking about?

>>105968673
Literally everything. Standard apps from Google, Apple, Microsoft etc. The bugs seem to be getting worse.

I don't think big corps would trust ai to do something. They already have their own devs. Not sure if they're not vibecoding.

AI is learned to steal, so coding and solving problems AI never faced would be problematic.

AI affected small businesses, i can see it. They're using ai art slop. I saw even government use ai slop.

I think AI couldn't program any complicated programs for a while, plenty of programs isn't open source. So yeah, waiting is the only option here.

AI has already improved all software from true competent devs who keep abreast of the most productive ways to contribute to their employer. Anyone not using AI is a time thief and professionally irresponsible. AI is the future and it is the ONLY way to produce code responsibly.

This, AI is improving software by removing the dead weight that gets paid too much.

Why is /g/ so retarded when it comes to AI? Like goddamn AI has pretty much JUST gotten to the point where it’s comparable to humans in coding so what ass backwards room temperature IQ fucking retard would be asking why software hasn’t gotten better? AI isn’t even writing the majority of software right now it’s transitioning to that.

and army of jeets are cheaper than running an actual capable LLM on a large scale (big corps).
>but they write shit code
who cares

>someone promises his new tech will make everything better for humanity
>gets funded
>makes everything worse for humanity
Tale as old as the wheel

>>105968652 (OP)
Because AI is still garbage.
If your IQ is over 120, you're smarter than every LLM in existence.

>>105968652 (OP)
I usually hate it when people say "just learn how to use it bro." But imo most devs waste a ton of time with AI because they try to get it to do shit it can't. Like they spend so much time prompting the fucking thing when they could just write the code. Or better yet break the problem down into manageable chunks and have AI work through those. AI just can't solve big difficult problems. Maybe they will further improve its training and it will get better but for now the ceiling is still the human developers. So to answer your question it's because LLMs can't improve these things.

>>105969106
Nah that's cope.
AI can do everything now. Programmers are obsolete that's why juniors aren't required any more.

Hahaha it's meant to augment shareholder value, not to actually help create anything worth using

>>105969497
Ok tell me about all the products you've made with AI

>>105969992
It doesn't matter what I've done, what matters most is what big corporations can do.

>>105970276
It shouldn't matter then. If AI is that good you should be able to develop a product people will pay money for. I think you've mistaken what companies tell shareholders vs what's actually going on. Do you think they would just say "hey yeah we're going through a pretty big slump so we're firing a lot of the talent we were hoping to develop in an attempt to salvage the next 3 quarters while I look for another gig?"

>If AI is that good you should be able to develop a product people will pay money for.
As I said before, it doesn't matter whether or not I can create something new. If someone can create something, the value of a skill vanishes. It's easy to understand, my friend.
By the way, companies don't care about your feelings or mine, they care about making money, so if they can save money using AI, they will.

it's an awesome autocomplete though. It can complete entire lines exactly as I wanted to type them after just a few characters, sometimes entire methods just from the header. The idiots are the people who let ai lead them instead of using it to increase typing speed

why why go around it goes what is the culprit nobody knows

>>105968652 (OP)
AI is a productivity tool for competent developers. You see a lot of people on Reddit saying things such as "Holy shit guys, I one-shotted this webapp using Claude that gives me a list of all pizza shops within a five-mile radius of my home!". These sorts of tasks are rudimentary and nowhere near the scale of things at the enterprise level. For some reason, a lot of non-technical people seem to think that AI will write better code than current software developers. That's not the case and most savvy firms know this. At some point we will see firms in big trouble and they try and debug a 100k line codebase vibe coded by a product manager who didn't understand a single line.

>>105968652 (OP)
Programming is supposed to be deterministic. Now guess what happens when you take that away.

>>105968827
Microsoft had made using AI mandatory for all developers.
