I guess I am not the only one who is quite annoyed that nowadays everything is AI. Literally everything that’s beyond an if/else is advertised as AI. Machine Learning doesn’t seem to exist anymore.
Unless … Unless it’s not cool!

When Vibe Coding backfires: AI deletes company’s Database
AI agents “cannot be trusted [and] you need to 100% understand what data they can touch. Because — they will touch it. And you cannot predict what they will do with it.”
Sounds like the statement of an AI hater — but in fact it’s from Jason Lemkin who was using Replit (an AI powered software development platform) — after it deleted the complete production database.

When AI Writes Code — Who Really Sets the Price?
AI writing code sounds like every CEO’s dream: cheaper, faster, maybe even better. But what if swapping expensive developers for clever tools just creates a new kind of risk?

AI Agents: Loyal Only to the Prompt
Recently I thought “If AI scrapers are scraping my website, would a prompt injection work? Just adding invisible Prompt commands …?”

LLM-Search is a bit more than just “AI” – Podcast recommendation
Last week I heard the podcast SoftwareArchitekTOUR – Episode 102: Zuverlässige KI-Architektur from heise online. (german only, sorry).
I really liked the part where they discussed the technical part for a sematic search. Especially when it struck me, that the actual use of LLMs is just once per document and not in the search directly. Also, it suddenly became clear to me why you want/need a vector database for such an AI supported search.
Check it out if you can understand german or try to translate it.

Why do I feel triggered when Managers talk about AI?
I still don’t know why it triggers me so much when managers talk about “(Gen)AI” with such fascination. Maybe because I get the feeling that they tell themselves that IT problems will magically disappear?
But … what does ChatGPT say … the AI for sure must know (*cough*)

The truth about (Gen)AI
(✅ clickbait title)
Recently I attended a GenAI event organized by <big company>. All professional, interesting, insightful. Really good. (Really! I mean it! No sarcasm.)Until it hit me like a blow during a discussion:
I DO KNOW the whole plot already!
