@cstross JFC.

Last night, I was working on a high-priority incident at work, and my boss produced a script to do some of the work. About 10 minutes into trying to make this thing work:

Me: "This method call doesn't have that parameter at all. Was this generated by AI?"
Him: "Yes"
Me: "Fuck that, then. I'm rewriting every line of this using the documentation."

He still thinks it's a good idea.

@darkling imagine the cost reduction if specialised computer pushers could be replaced entirely by a middle management person with a script generator.

(and then the middle management jobs get eliminated too.)
