We just heard that AI was used to generate an embedded software application that was previously written by a team of 10 software engineers. It took the team 8 months to create the embedded software.
AI completed the task in 22.6 hours. There was a 4.3% error rate that required manual correction. AI is getting better though...
Layoffs are coming especially for anyone that writes software by hand.
I believe it. Most 0f the tasks that engineers perform were automated to some extent years ago. Now it is full life-cycle AI that is doing the jobs of many engineers and doing it quicker, cheaper, and without mistakes.

The process will also be completed by AI. No need for engineers anymore.
@OP doesn’t take a team of 10 eight months to write the software. They could probably knock it out in less than a week. What takes 8 months is “process” and processes for those processes and probably another layer of processes and documents on top of that still.
