  • Both are true.

    1. Yes, they hallucinate. For coding, especially when they don’t have the latest documentation, they just invent APIs and methods that don’t exist.
    2. They also take jobs. They pretty much eliminate entry-level programmers (making the same mistakes while being cheaper and faster).
    3. AI-generated code bases are not maintainable in the long run. They don’t reliably reuse methods, only fix the surface bugs, not fundamental problems, causing code base bloating and, as we all know, more code == more bugs.
    4. Management uses Claude code for their small projects and is convinced that it can replace all programmers for all projects, which is a bias they don’t recognize.

    Is it a bubble? Yes. Is it a fluke? Welllllllll, not entirely. It does increase productivity, given enough training, learning its advantages and limitations.
