Bas Dijkstra expresses his fatigue over the AI hype in software testing and beyond. He critiques the overuse and marketing of AI as a 'game changer' without substantial improvement. With 18 years in test automation, Bas finds no shortcut to experience despite the promise of 'AI-powered solutions'. He believes AI can expedite results but often lacks in quality. He's also seen a rise in AI-assisted conference proposals, making them generic and unauthentic. As a human, he finds no emotional connection to AI-generated art compared to human creations. Though he acknowledges AI's potential for good, such as in disease detection, he is weary of its overuse and carbon footprint.
