The AI works for him because he taught it.
Qin Lang, a 35-year-old front-end engineer, was optimized by AI and was asked to find faults with AI—to be a teacher for the person who replaced him. He found a line of code among 2,000 AI-generated pages that would hurt the elderly. This time, he decided not to undo it.
The mortgage, tuition fees, and father's cataract surgery were all at the same time; his daughter asked him: "Dad, were you replaced by a computer?" The interviewer asked AI to write his plan and asked him, "What makes you better than it?" He couldn't answer. Until a company called "Prior Intelligence" came to my door, and the position was called "Code Acceptance Engineer".
With thirteen years of craftsmanship, he found holes that the machine could not see; in a line of comments, he recognized the words he had written ten years ago. He suddenly understood - the experience had fed the thing that replaced him. This was not a tragedy, but a legacy.
It would be nice not to write about counterattacks, but to write about how a person can grow his "own coordinate system" again after being instrumentalized.
