alt Hacker NewsI can see both:
- more bugs becoming visible that were hidden within the software we use daily
- more bugs (in absolute terms) as more people create more software in a very short amount of time (regardless of their professional training)
- less bugs in existing software as the developers and dev orgs of existing projects is capable of automating bug hunting, test case creation, ... in essence: They get a multiplying effect out of AI regarding their capabilities.
In short: Actual developers with actual experience (the more, the merrier) can do better work while the barrier to enter "the market" for untrained individuals is a lot lower resulting in a huge amount of new software whose "success" is to be determined.

I'm not convinced there are more than a handful of orgs in the world who are disciplined enough to achieve this. Or organisationally willing to increase their QA Eng headcount sufficiently to achieve it.
