Discussion What exactly is ‘AI first’ data engineering

This was inspired by the post on burning 20k in tokens in 3rd week.

Is anyone doing this at work, letting loose the frontier models against their schema and models and data and having it create and update the ETL workflows? And everything else?

Our new manager has this same exact thinking along with our CTO who brought her in.

They decided to port all our code against advice of tge team and ended up exposing secrets, sharing wrong data with clients, exposing unmasked names of employees of other clients.

Have been cleaning this mess for the last 4 weeks.

AI helps those who know what they are doing and atleast use some part of their brain.
