If they say the magic word, investors throw money.

Milk bottles in the supermarkets in the UK are now using weird sizes like 1.136l, because apparently that easier for some old cunt to read.

Rope? I thought Jabba used a gold chain?

Now I’m imagining Dr Bunsen Honeydew shouting “Pivot!”

Like it was not just invented by a generic computation machine called the human brain, multiple times in different locations. Its more fundamental than that.

It’s the stuff they’re pushing like its new and fascinating and will grab people’s attention. So it makes you feel like you’re ahead of the curve.

Oh, it’s kinda the same as the similar sounding concepts in software. DRY = Dont Repeat Yourself vs WET = Write Everything Twice (aka We Enjoy Typing)

What to do? Well now you have evidence that AI tools are not yet good enough to write code that doesn’t need human review before deploying to prod. Chat with whoever is in charge of Process, and get some team guidelines in place to prevent unreviewed code going to prod, and unreviewable PR’s being submitted for review.
