> I would guess that at least in the cloud flare instance some of the responsible code was ai generated

Your whole point isn't supported by anything but ... a guess?

If given the chance to work with an AI who hallucinates sometimes or a human who makes logical leaps like this

I think I know what I'd pick.

Seriously, just what even? "I can imagine a scenario where AI was involved, therefore I will treat my imagination as evidence."

Microsoft is saying they're generating 30% of their code now and there's clearly been a lot of stability issues with Windows 11 recently that they've publicly acknowledged. It's not hard to tell a story that involves layoffs, increased pressure to ship more code, AI tools, and software quality issues. You can make subtle jabs about your peers as much as you want but that isn't going to change public perception when you ship garbage.

The whole point is that the outages happened not that the ai code caused them. If ai is so useful/amazing then these outages should be less common not more. It’s obviously not rock solid evidence. Yeah ai could be useful and speed up or even improve a code base but there isn’t any evidence that that’s actually improving anything the only real studies point to imagined productivity improvements
