It makes organizations more productive at producing code and doing other tasks, but translating that into something that affects PnL is different. Where I work it's sped up individual tasks I've worked on but I don't think it's sped up delivery timelines of any of the major projects I'm involved in. We just added additional verification work with the extra cycles the engineers have now. It's not like that work is useless. It will probably mean I have less debugging to do in the future, but when you look at how the business makes money I don't see it making a big impact.
- simianwords 22d agoBased on what you said, would you think firms would dial down AI use in the coming years? If not it stands to reason that it did have big impact.
- jeffreyrogers 22d agoI think it is easy for companies to waste time and money on lots of things when it is hard to measure the impact. For example, I think most people would agree that the big tech companies are bloated and have too many employees for the amount of work they have. There's not really an incentive to fix problems, and in some cases (like with headcount) there are counter-incentives (managers want to have more reports). I think companies will get better at measuring the impact of AI and attributing it to increasing profit or decreasing costs, and that the companies that are better at this will have an advantage over those that are worse, so eventually overall efficiency will improve.
