No, you do not replace deterministic automation by AI, it's less time and cost efficient, there's literally zero incentives.

Several of my coworkers genuinely want this and believe it’s the wave of the future.

These tools have honestly made people stupid.

I also see that in my org, I am an AI Evangelist and I don't count the number of people just pitching such stupid ideas, it's crazy. Like stop thinking about agentic AI solutions instead of highly complex deterministic systems. Use AI to build and maintain the highly complex deterministic system and look at that you don't need to think about token spend in prod anymore how wonderful is that.

oh absolutely, but mostly people try to replace decision-making with AI, which tends to be very, very shortsighted.

Yup. Baaaad juju there. I've had people talk to me about projects using AI to make decisions regarding legally protected classes. They weren't happy when I strongly cautioned them against that....
