I read they were automating everything whether it needed AI or not just to get credit for using AI.
I had to push back on that at work. Most of the problems presented were easily solvable via conventional methods. Only one task was a legitimate use of AI. There are some others, but the pressure to consider AI for every task is a little bananas
My boss was talking about using AI agents for CI/CD processes. Like, I get using them to build CI/CD processes, but involving AI agents in the actual build process is ridiculously stupid. A representative from Microsoft specifically said in a training session to not use them that way so it's obviously not only my stupid ass boss.
Only nerds want idempotent build results, it's so fun debugging slop...
