Every claim below was made in this piece, quoted word for word and numbered in the order the piece makes them, so you can read it there rather than take our word for it. The sentence above each quote is our reading of the claim, not their wording. Each quote was checked against a stored copy of the page at build time; where the two differ, the quote is the fact.

  1. These would only automate about 15% of what I do as a performance engineer, and will go out of date if I'm not training it to follow industry changes.
  2. If a company spends less on performance engineers as it's considered AI'd, it will reduce the company's effective "performance IQ."
  3. In future there will be AI performance agents that can be run on everything, helping to save the planet by reducing energy usage.
