I mean just have a coding agent do the whole process from start to finish. Tell it you want to seed an SVM from LLM runs on ticket data. I can bet that it'll do it all for you without much input from you at all.
I think AI is making people forget that code can be used for automation.

I see coworkers using AI for tasks like "visit an API endpoint, download a file, put it in S3". This is so stupid. Okay if you want to use AI, but use it to write python code to do that, why pay in tokens every time you want to run that task, it makes no sense

If you don't know what "python code" is, you'll just ask the AI to do the task.
But there are teams in your org that could write something in 10 minutes
How do they use it like that? Like a once off action by the agent or is it embedded in a process?
No, they literally just ask. "Can you pull this file using this API endpoint and put it in S3"

Probably under the hood Claude creates some temporary python code or something.

But it bothers me, I don't know why. It's like paying a subscription service for the most stupid tasks
