"Tomorrow I cease to be a Puppet". That's what you think.
Disclosure - this is a talk about people - not about AI. This is a talk about how we will continue to apply our humans strenghts in a world enhanced by AI.
One of the LLM engines I work with seems to think it can take over my job as an architect. I say with some confidence that for the next few decades, my job will be heavily influenced by AI, but not replaced by AI. For example I am presenting and OOP and *it* is not.
Software architects and system architects will not be replaced anytime soon by Generative AI or LLMs. They will be replaced by software architects that know how to leverage Generative AI and LLMs, and just as importantly, know how NOT to use Gen AI. For the last two years, Avraham has been on a journey exploring the use of AI to augment the way he does architecture and makes architecture decisions as well as assimilate the architectural understanding within the organization.
Along the way, Avraham has learned so much both about generative AI's abilities and limitations, and even more about himself as an architect and as a person. For example, Avraham has learned that AIs can propose tradeoffs along with convincing suppporting arguments, but only a human Architect can be held accountable. An AI might be able to create a drawing and talk you through it, but only a human architect will appriciate the look of confusion on your face and emphasize that one dotted line that makes everything clearer.
In the talk, Avraham invites you to join him on his journey. This talk will equip you with the knowledge and very practical tools to start on your own adventure to leverage the power of GAI, elevate your architectural practice, and hopefully stay ahead of the curve.
