I work as an embedded developer as well. I would have agreed with you some months ago. Now it can recognise a full proprietary compiler by one of its flag, which is used maybe a handful of companies. Scarry. I am 99% sure it “learned” by previous attempts by developers. Aka the AI company stole the conversations and trained the new model on them. The uC we are using is non public, only we have it, yet somehow the AI knows about it. The only thing it cannot do is grabbing an oscilloscope to debug the HW…
By the written contract, they cannot use the data for traning our company gives them. (according to our lawpersonel, I did not read the contract)
Also developers had to sign additional NDA to be able to read the specs. And it is strictly forbidden to give AI access to restricted documents. Yet it learned somehow. That is stealing.
I have to agree, the recent jump from shitty as best to “oh fuck i will be replaced” was due every fking company jumped on the hype train and shared everything, and they even pay for it.
