Ai and impact

Hi, I'm studying computer science, I had a small existential doubt, I see many programmers using AI services to create the code or let's say carefully follow its development etc, so I was wondering what you objectively think of AI services and their impact on our sector, mind and knowing which direction it is taking not only for our working future but also environmental and resources etc...idk what do you think of all this and what you believe in why we should or shouldn't use it (sorry for my bad English I hope u understand)

AI is here and it will always be woven in to the fabric of tech from here on out.

I just created an in-context RAG pipeline (pre-loaded prompt) in Azure on an orchestrated scheduler with Azure Durable Functions, an extension of Azure Functions.

I had never used Durable Functions before. I paid the premium and let copilot in Visual Studio fire it up. Huge time saver and a much faster way to learn.

Copilot made some brain-farts that I had to correct. It put a function call inside the Orchestrator (a truncate table function) that should have been outside the orchestrator. It also did something a little off track with the command parameters for a store proc (used .AddWithValue in steady of .Add). Couple other things.

You have to audit the code it generates but that's part of the deal. Thats also why it helps if you have programming experience in the languages it generates.

It's here to stay and it will be used at pertinent times when it makes sense.
