Just read "Generative AI Myths, Busted: An Engineer's Quick Guide"—a great technical reality check. I strongly agree with the facts it lays out.
Do you know the true nature of LLMs? The article clarifies two essential facts that reshape the engineering role:
- AI does not understand. The reality presented is that it is a probabilistic prediction engine, not a reasoning entity. This nature explains why hallucinations occur.
- AI will not replace engineers. The fact is that it is a fast intern for boilerplate code and drafts, shifting our value to system architecture and oversight.
This technical clarity is the key to productivity. We unlock it by leveraging the AI's speed while applying the necessary human discipline to guide its predictions (prompting) and verify its output.
