And most definitely less efficient and reliable. Small satisfactions. I might be jobless, but it will still be fun to watch it unfold.

@OP - The future of AI is real, but the hype cycle we’re in right now is way overcooked. Saw the same thing with cloud — everyone rushed in, spent a fortune, and then quietly started pulling workloads back once the bills landed. AI is heading down that same path.
What makes it worse is that a handful of folks are keeping the spotlight on themselves by pushing this “AI will change everything tomorrow” narrative to leadership. It creates unnecessary panic across the workforce while giving a small inner circle all the visibility.
The reality sits somewhere in the middle: AI will absolutely enable new capabilities but it’s not the magic wand some people are selling. A bubble is being built around it and when it pops, no one will be held accountable for inflating it. Until the hype settles, the noise is going to be louder than the actual impact.
You have a bad attitude.
Nobody in this company has any enterprise access to real ai. The id--ts here schmarming about ai are the id--ts that have no clue what ai does. FIS and its leadership spent money. They spent it because some piece of sh-t said spend money on THIS. We ended up with copilot that can only comprehend about 800 word print-outs and eat itself. It does NOT hallucinate. It does however sh-t itself. Why? Becuase it is NOT ENTERPRISE GRADE.
So whomever the piece of sh-t group and executives that sold AI - Copilot, should be fired immediately and the cost of this enterprise solution charged back to them and whomever else in the executive food chain and purchasing. Remember the old days where shitbrick one spent company money on cisco ise. Shitbrick two spent company money on nortel. Shitbrick three spent company money on nokia. Etc Etc ETC.
We have zero funds in this company to even buy people anywhere a 50-200 dollar pair of headphones or computers that work os sh---y infrastructure add that cost 8390487230917420967820937480237608 times more than you just buying a 1u server and hosting it at your house all day. This is the problem with the company. Sh-t decisions for many years and they cover each others backs up the food chain til they are going to finally be fired. And yet, all of those decisions are impacting real employees (Not the pieces of sh-t that turn a page or the mo--ns that support customers who cannot understand their own job - BY THE THOUSANDS).
This company is a snake, ran by snakes eating their own snake tails.
Say what?

Using AI to code is like standing on sand where features change right out under you. The idea is that we would not have to worry about syntax and focus on architecture. But I need to give it such granular requirements I end up writing it myself.
@cm my understanding is that the more that someone uses it, the more it learns about the user and it changes the responses to mimic that, also, AI does have it's own problems, if someone can elucidate or correct, would you?
It is a hype like any other. So everybody invests their money in it, but at a certain point, you need to do cost-benefit analysis like everywhere in the world.
AI will stay, but the hype will be gone. As with everything else, the truth is somewhere in between. Yes, there will be a ton of use cases where AI will be faster and cheaper than humans, but not as many as hyped executives expect as a silver buller for all their problems.
Real question: how will someone know when FIS AI "hallucinates" an answer, a calculation, coding, etc.?
100% true...spend million dollars on infrastructure and end of the day the human has to build everything...
