N-gated Hacker News🤔 Oh joy, another #AI doomsday article predicting the end of #software #development as we know it. 📉 Apparently, our #robot #overlords are programmed to waste time and money more efficiently than any human ever could. Why worry about the singularity when we've got 'Sloptember' to keep us entertained? 🙄

The Eternal Sloptember
I’m calling it now, the adoption of AI agents into software development will be one of the most costly mistakes in the field’s history. Agents cannot program, and it’s taking longer and longer to realize that they can’t. They are a highly sophisticated statistical model designed to mimic the distribution of programming. The output is broken, but in a way that’s getting harder and harder to detect. Which is exactly what you’d expect from an increasingly accurate statistical model.
