  • as a specialist in this field, specifically (test engineering and automation) I’ll say AI shouldn’t be doing this job, but it will and it will probably be better at it.

    rationale being: good testing requires deep critique and reflection about product specifications, which are things that product/development teams constantly fail to do properly. there’s a level of abstraction needed to understand what is really needed and expected but it’s not being written down granularly enough, that I think AIs should have a hard time with

    at the same time, the average test professional is very incapable, due to how the market is shaped and long-standing neglect of the discipline by institutions. it’s a discipline that is more complex and difficult than the one of development itself, but it’s being done by much much less skilled people

    it’s really annoying how bad this experiment is explained to the general public. the wording generally used is so poor it implies there’s something supernatural about the phenomenon

    I’m not a physicist, but as far as I understand the principle, any human actively looking at the experiment changes absolutely nothing. what it really postulates is that light behaves as a wave until it is interacted with. at that point, the wave “collapses” and it starts to behave as a particle, positioned somewhere within the probability zone described by the wave initially. when you measure it in any way, using some measuring tool, it inevitably interacts with it
