AI can for sure be a useful tool in development - but forcing everyone to use just the one tool and removing developer agency is going to be a shitshow. You can absloutely make slop code usable and stable - you could make dreamweaver code or VS’s autogenerated C# usable too - but it’s not a magically quick process. Given the goal here is speed, this ill wind doth blow due trainwreck…
Not only that. LLMs have serious flaws like are much more costly than hand written code, are much more prone to errors, cant be reviewed or audited, and rarely employs the most efficient architectures. On top of that, execs think the memory is absolute and dont realize the more context you feed it, the more it has to guess.
They’re using AI as the main development tool by the sound of it, not a supplementary tool. If they’re anything like the AI ads I have seen lately it will look like shit. I have no trust that this will create a cohesive product.
Do you think so? Most big companies require developers to use Ai.
Edit: I don’t understand why my question is downvoted.

LLM-only code is going to be terrible.
