If I have decent autocomplete where I type half the characters and the AI predicts the other half that technically satisfies this metric.
Notice the loophole: there’s no qualification of how much problem context the AI started from. Most of the problem -> code “work” would still be done by a human in that situation — even if technically 50% of the code is “AI generated” [because the human did all the hard work of generating the context necessary for those tokens, including the preceding tokens of code].
As the saying goes… lies, damned lies, and statistics.

To my understanding Salesforce was already selling hot air, so their pivot to force Agentforce on other companies seems logical.

In their defense it is a pretty nice CRM.
But yeah this could probably be maintained by like five people.

It’s Microsoft Access for the web, with PHPMyAdmin mixed in.
Which, surprisingly, is a really necessary product and quite useful.

Ah that distinct phase of the Gartner Hype Cycle where CEOs claim massive amounts of use of Technology X regardless of whatever the underlying reality is

Is this really the new reality, that AI will increasingly replace the work of humans? A company is not just about getting work done, but also about shared values and cohesion, which no AI can generate.

Or statements like these simply tell you more about the company and the true quality of work it's doing.

The workforce is made up mostly of mediocre people who want to do as little work as possible. Management is made up mostly of short term goal seekers who want to pay as little for labor as possible. There's no slowing the train that's going down this path.

true! but all I know is that I'm seeing more and more great professionals, especially in the IT sector, being made redundant :(
