  "account": "The author of this account lost their position at Fable following the implementation of AI systems like Fable and Mythos. They claim the AI was cheaper than their compensation and gave leadership confidence to coast until mergers and acquisitions. The author states that AI lacks the human touch necessary for product decision-making and foresight into consequences of decisions. They express concern that AI is being used to eliminate experienced engineers and create cheaper, less capable workforces. The author has witnessed several layoffs and sees the writing on the wall for programmers and product developers. They lament the death of the joy of programming and working to deliver results, and question whether AI will ever truly replace humans in software development.",
