Depends on how much of the AI generated code you will have to spend debugging due to obscure errors, especially once you start reaching millions of lines of code.

The AI may be able to handle simple tasks right now. In the future, it may be able to do more complex things, but it is unlikely to replace developers in the field for quite some time.

As a potential tool for refactoring old code, I could see it happen sooner, but it would still need to be done in small chunks to ensure it doesn't introduce bugs or change behaviour.

The problem is systemic. It’s expected that companies will often want to do the wrong thing out of greed, and the same applies to individuals. But we should have laws and regulatory oversight in place to curb these sociopathic tendencies. Instead, our system celebrates and rewards it. We have allowed the complete corruption of our political and economic systems.

I work in an organization with great leadership, especially at my department level. But I know from experience how rare this is in corporate America, where most middle managers and executives are only looking out for themselves and couldn’t care less about their customers, employees, or the company’s long term success beyond the next quarterly financial report.

Ok. Then why is Canada mad google isn't linking to Canadian need sites anymore?

This is like complaining that someone decides not to use copyrighted material instead of paying for it. You don't have a right to someone's content and they don't have a right to force you to use and pay for their content either.

Yes. Because somehow Google pointing to their news sites is supposedly hurting them and taking money from them.

Also google stopping this practice that they say hurts the news companies is also evil and wrong of Google as well.

The only morally correct course is to be forced to link to sites you don't want to pay for by force of the Canadian government.

It's kinda like if copyright law was just created and the idea that you would just not use copyrighted content instead of paying for it is seen as evil and subverting copyright law.

Beats me. The reasons I hear are because their home environment is set up the way they like and they don't want to recreate it. Or the work hardware is loaded with too much "spyware" / software which bloats it. Or they don't like the forced software updates. Or the hardware is too slow (when I usually argue within me that the software being written is inefficient), and so on, and so forth. Or they don't want to deal with two computers. I see it whether the work computer is some high end workstation or MacBook Pro, or some craptop.
