I am not even a developer but I've noticed tickets having a response written clearly by AI that miss several things I already talked to the person over teams about. Like dude read your own fucking comment before you post. The conclusion is wrong and you know that because we talked about it before you had the AI "figure out the problem" in the first place. Fuck. I know reading logs is really time consuming and annoying but the AI isn't always very good or won't just say "hey that log isn't showing that I'm looking for" and instead just hallucinates something.
I don't even hate AI, but could we at least use our fucking brains while using the AI? When it spits out code to me for my home projects, I, someone who is not a developer, still look at the code to make sure it's not say running a loop that will hammer disk looking for 1200 files one at a time instead of pulling a directory listing and searching it or something very similar in the database I'm using. People have gotten so lazy. Maybe they're tired of their bosses trying to force them and are providing garbage? I don't know but can we just not? Lol.
I've had multiple people try and use LLMs to troubleshoot. It gives me a great feeling of job security. Those fuckers cannot think and in fact drove a boss to screen punching strokeout running him in a two hour circle over something i fixed with two clicks and cognitive function
Sometimes it can help troubleshoot but you have to already know what you're doing so you can filter out really stupid suggestions and get to the "oh yeah I didn't think about that" kind of stuff. If you're relying on it completely, you're gonna have a bad time lol.
