agentic AI in particular is so fucking funny. i run an absolutely *tiny* indie studio and i still ask people "hey could you run me through how this works?" all the time because knowing how things work is a vital part of creating a quality product

how does that work with AI? "hey could you run me through how this works?" and people just go "idk the AI did it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

i feel like the only way businesses fall for this is when they're big enough nobody at any level really knows fully how the product gets made, because it's abundantly clear to anyone who actually knows how products are made that "nobody knows how this works" is the biggest red flag ever

@eniko Sadly the current business climate does not reward quality, and hasn't for a long time. AI is accelerating this attitude in an extreme way, and maybe it'll lead to such an extreme crash that we'll rediscover that quality actually matters. One thing I'm sure about, a crash of some sort is coming, and it's not going to be good.

@ainmosni @eniko True, but I suspect CRA/PLD/... will change this at least for some market segments.

(I'm not a huge fan of the CAIDA; we should treat "AI" in products just like normal products; as a consumer/citizen I don't much care why they don't meet requirements. That just adds to the "oh look how special AI is" crap.)
