Look on the bright side in a few years there will be good demand for "artisanal" software engineers and specialized IT folks who can fix this AI slop generated code at 1000$ per hour.

... since I keep reading here the Coding AIs supposedly only produce radioactive "slop", why aren't we in the era of Great Artisanal Wealth Extraction already?

Why will it take "a few years" before things break?

I would have thought it would be breaking stuff and just getting worse immediately?

@hopeless @nixCraft hmm, you haven't noticed multiple big internet outages lately? And that was the stuff they deemed to be fit for production.
