Pointy haired manager to programmer:  We are thinking of replacing
programming with AI.

Programmer:  Don't you mean you plan to replace programmers with AI.

PHM: No, replace programming itself.

P:  How?  Why?

PHM:  Well, the Big, Poorly Understood AI produces really good results
without actually writing code.

P: Go on...

PHM:  Plus it's cheap and really, really prolific and efficient.

P: Sure, but its quality is awful!!

PHM: So is the quality of your software, all software, really.

P. Yeah, but the AI's quality is MUCH worse!

PHM:  Yes, but the AI is so affordable, efficient, and prolific, that
the wrongful death lawsuits will be just a cost of doing business, and
we'll still come out ahead according to the actuaries.
