my employer has decided to license an “AI RDBMS” that will dynamically rewrite our entire database schema and queries to allegedly produce incredible performance improvements out of thin air. It’s obviously snake oil, but they’re all in on it 🙄

There are people who are less intelligent than bears.

Nobody’s stupid enough to

Every sentence that begins this way is wrong.

My comment was a joke but I am fairly certain someone is going to so that anyway

I want to try it but don’t want to risk a corporation exploiting corrupt systems to sue me

But copilot suggested it and it obviously knows what it’s doing! If I couldn’t trust literally everything it spat out it wouldn’t be sold by Microsoft for really obvious liability reasons!

Don’t have links anymore, but few months ago I came across some startup trying to sell AI that watches your production environment and automatically optimizes queries for you.

It is just a matter of time until we see first AI induced large data loss.

I’d practically guarantee there’s a nonzero amount of suits out there who think it’d be a fantastic idea, and have at the very least tried to make it happen, and that it’s only a matter of time before one of them talks somebody into it if they haven’t already
