🤖Record of Microsoft AI "Going Crazy": Developers Suffer

Microsoft employees are experiencing an "insane" AI - driven experience. Multiple PRs on GitHub show that the code submitted by Copilot has many problems, such as failed tests, missing necessary files, etc., and requires manual modification repeatedly. Some developers complain that Copilot is like a junior developer who doesn't follow instructions and can't understand tasks, and is even inferior to an outsourcing team. Nevertheless, Microsoft still seems to be vigorously promoting AI tools. Some employees express concern about "being left behind", and the management may also use AI usage as an assessment indicator. The publicization of this experiment has triggered reflections on AI capabilities, the future of software development, and corporate culture. Some comments point out that this may just be an inevitable stage in the development of AI, but some people worry that AI will intensify the "involution" in software development and even replace some developers.
