And the results, he was like, I'm actually surprised it didn't appear to make a huge difference.

Pushes back on this narrative.

You would think the AI code is total dog shit, but it was not, it was fine.

But what it did reveal

is that the smart engineers using AI had better code.

It was like better quality.

And the less experienced engineers, the worst ones who used AI, had worse quality code.

And his quote, if you're already doing the wrong things, AI will help you to dig a deeper hole faster.

Tools amplify capability, they don't replace it.

So it brings up this idea.

If you're someone who never learns critical thinking skills, they never spend those two years being an entry-level person to figure out what looks good or what's bad.

They just offload their thinking to the AI.

Or even if you start with somebody who has the expertise and then they de-skill and actually devolve because they're having the AI do most of the work.

Right.

You are now going to have a world where people who don't have good critical thinking skills and a background are producing more shit than they did before.

We have that world right now.

That is the world we are in.

Like we've talked many times about how, hey, this is going to destroy entry-level jobs because a senior engineer can just review what an AI does.

And this is, I've talked about this with doctors doing the same thing, but we're like, wow, will people learn to be a senior person?

But this is also revealing that the senior people are getting dumber by using AI.
