I think AI is making people forget that code can be used for automation.
I see coworkers using AI for tasks like "visit an API endpoint, download a file, put it in S3". This is so stupid. Okay if you want to use AI, but use it to write python code to do that, why pay in tokens every time you want to run that task, it makes no sense
How do they use it like that? Like a once off action by the agent or is it embedded in a process?
If you don't know what "python code" is, you'll just ask the AI to do the task.
