If a person is going to be blamed, it should be the one that mandated use of the AI systems.... Because that's exactly what Amazon was doing.

Talk about an extra slap in the fuckin face... getting blamed for something your replacement did. Cool.

[-] Tharkys@lemmy.wtf 12 points 1 hour ago

That's in the SOP for management.

[-] Soulphite@reddthat.com 2 points 1 hour ago

True. In this case, these poor saps being tricked into "training" these AI to eventually render their jobs obsolete.

[-] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 1 points 15 minutes ago

Yes. "obsolete" in that Amazon doesn't give a shit about reliability anymore, so an AI reliability engineer is fine, now. Haha.

Would said employees have voluntarily used the agent if Amazon didn't demand it? If no, this isn't on them. They shouldn't be responsible for forced use of unvetted tools.

It's working great to convince moronic executives to leave Windows when it fucks up majorly due to AI coding, which is a win for everyone.

AI can never fail, it can only be failed

Well, AI code should be reviewed prior merge into master, same as any code merged into master.

We have git for a reason.

So I would definitely say this was a human fault, either reviewer’s or the human’s who decided that no (or AI driven) review process is needed.

If I would manage devOps, I would demand that AI code has to be signed off by a human on commit taking responsibility with the intention that they review changes made by AI prior pushing

Realistically what happens is the code review is done under time pressure and not very thoroughly.
