Amazon programmers are expressing dissatisfaction with the integration of AI into their work, feeling it leads to increased workloads rather than efficiency. Despite the company's belief that AI can enhance productivity, many engineers are reporting heightened output expectations and tighter deadlines, claiming they are pressured to use AI tools more frequently. This change in workplace demands highlights a troubling trend where new technologies are more likely used as justifications for added employee pressures rather than genuine improvements in work-life quality.
The shoehorning of AI into everything has programmers at Amazon feeling less like the tedious parts of their jobs are being smoothly automated, and more like their work is beginning to resemble the drudgery of toiling away in one of the e-commerce giant's vast warehouses.
Today, there's no shortage of coding AI assistants to choose from. Microsoft is making heavy use of them, as is Microsoft. Satya Nadella, CEO of the Redmond giant, estimates that as much as 30 percent of the company's code is now written with AI.
