[Maybe an] Unpopular Opinion on Professionality - Ethics on an AI World

Oct 10 (edited) • 💬 General

I have seen many people in places related to AI and related fields brag about how they do business in automation while having little to now knowledge of the inner details of coding or the way agents and models work.

Not knowing the whereabouts of your job is, for me, a lack of professionality and a disloyalty to the customers.

Building things using AI tools or asking ChatGPT to code for you may be cool if you are learning or trying to impress someone, but if you want to start a business or a company you shouldn't go that way. Because there will be troubles that you must be able to solve. Customers expect a provider that knows what they are doing and how to fix issues that will appear. If top companies like Microsoft, Apple or Android have had problems with code written and compiled by humans that know what they are doing, so are you going to have.

When you start coding, one of the things they told you is that at some point you will spend more time checking the code than writing it.

Learn to code and don't rush to a fever that may flop before you're even ready. And most important, for me, be honest to your customers.
