Several of the LLMs have produced inaccuracies which have been uncritically communicated to our customers by CrowdStrikers who failed to exhibit due diligence. Those errors were caught by said customers, and they were embarrassing to us all.

Now we have an engineer, if you can call him that, working on a project that will introduce more than 30k lines of AI generated code into our codebase, without a single unit test. It will be impossible to do a proper code review on this much code and it will become a maintenance nightmare and possibly a security hazard. I don't need to tell you how much management is cheering on that.

A ticking timebomb in the making. It's especially galling that CrowdStrike is doing this, given their epic fail just last year.

A while back I wrote in a post here:

under Taylorism the workers who actually do the work and know it best no longer have a say (opinion) in how that work gets done. Pseudo-scientific principles (scientific management, the astrology of MBAs) dictates all. Computers, from the very first, were intended and designed for this purpose.

riffing on what a lousy person Charles Babbage was and the lousy anti-worker plans he had for the proto-computers he designed. Among other things generative AI is another manifestation of the MBA pseudoscience known as scientific management and exists in a long line of digital technologies stretching all the way back to Babbage's.
