Ep14 - Gen AI (and why we've been avoiding this topic)
from Bytes In Balance Hosted by Dan and Demian
We have avoided talking about generative AI and LLMs. No more. In this episode we decided to discuss the topic and expose the reasoning why we have been careful and have avoided it so far. We share our perspectives as experienced software engineers (not AI experts) navigating the hype, anxiety, and reality of LLMs. We discuss our approach and experiments with LLMs, from initial hesitation to finding practical use cases that work for us, while exploring the broader implications for software engineering careers. The conversation covers what LLMs actually do versus what people think they do, the risks of losing critical thinking skills, and why we believe the fears about AI replacing software engineers are largely out of place.
