2:20 there’s a reason banks still use COBOL and it’s because it’s reliability and trustworthiness. None which you currently get with AI right now especially at the break-neck speed that things are moving. I wouldn’t give this company a dime. This is a failure from the get-go, especially because this individual doesn’t have to maturity to understand things. He just saw AI as an opportunity to sell us snakes oil.

Could you imagine a bug in the AI coded stuff from this company that prevents people to make transactions for two or three days before they fix it? COBOL, for example is still used in servers for banks since the 1980s because the absolute utmost important in any economic system is the ability to not fail when doing transactions, for example.
