I think there is a big industry push on "use AI to deliver features faster".

It could have also been a "use AI to test our product more", but I don't see that anywhere.

I hope you agree LLM's can actually help with quality, if used for that purpose?

Who cares about the theory? The fact is that the world is now worse due to LLM use.

And it's not just restricted to software. Everything I care about is getting worse.

Dribbling about how it could theoretically be better doesn't help undo the damage.

For your own projects you could make use of AI to increase the quality.

Even if that's true, it doesn't follow that you personally will make the world any better by refusing to use LLMs, given that you'll use them carefully and conservatively. And as for what other people do, you can't really control that.

Yeah, that's definitely true. The world is now moving so fast, and everyone feels pressured to match the speed of others, to not be left behind.

I do think/hope that as LLMs improve, that improved quality would come by default, or that people would still compete in quality instead of quantity, but this is also the consumer's job to not accept shit quality products.

We use AI to write almost all our code in a fintech - trading applications. If the quality is low, bugs cause monetary loss. Degradation in performance causes monetary loss. And so on.

It doesn't happen. We have very good functional and non-functional testing and the coding agents are able to iteratively add functionality correct features and improve performance.

I don't understand what other people are doing different to get worse results. We cannot ever go back to humans writing this code, because our competitors will eat our lunch if we do.
