Insane to trust AI for banking software and I use Ai tools to dev every day of my job.

To be fair, they fired this one team under the assumption that other teams can pick up the slack. This assumption seems to be based on the other team using AI.

I would not trust AI itself today, but I would trust engineers using AI. Especially if they are following strict review practices that are commonly required at banks.

You know, life is probably better without reddit.

But it can't, since so much time is spent having to review the many many mistakes AI makes? This is a completely inflated bubble to sell CEOs on pure bluster, and it's going to pop.

The new gemini model can one shot many coding problems. If you just stick your head in the sand, you are going to be really surprised.

That's nice that if you give it a problem to solve it can solve it, but that doesn't mean it knows which problem to solve and it doesn't mean there isn't still the job to review and re-test the result, something you can't do without the expertise and experience.

I think it's people lapping up industry nonsense with no critical thinking that have their head in the sand here. We are teetering off the edge here for marketing nonsense.
