I was kinda hoping that "Difficult:" would be taken as a warning rather than part of the clue ...

Well you were right as I did consider asking, but then I figured you wouldn't make the mistake of making it look like part of the clue... you have done far too many of these to do that!

The job of the setter is to misdirect, confuse, and befuddle the solver! Punctuation is part of that (and should normally be ignored - but not always, as that can be part of the misdirection...)

Was some thoughts to AI doing development, according to Gartner it's going to be "AI Driven Development"
Guess that means the humans do the work, and AI will be the boss.

If AI will take over management it may be an improvement...

Indeed.

So artificial intelligence is really better than natural stupidity?

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

MAY BE!
However there are days I would take my chances happily...

Then you are very brave. Look what some primates are capable of doing despite a few million years of evolution. That's nothing compared to the crazy things some AI might be capable of doing without that small advantage.

As long as you really break the computer and leave the monitor alone. Why does everyone whack the monitor when they don't like what the computer is up to?

Yeah, I love my customers too. Delivering a whole machine vision kit and them telling me “the camera doesn't work“ when the screen says “No connection to SAP available“ ^^

Not necessarily ... If they act as a swarm, breaking a computer can have a serious consequence for anyone doing this ...

I think it's a misnomer. Should be Artificial Stupidity.

This makes me want to use current chat bot tech to handle most of my interruptions as a developer.
Slack might already have a plug in for this.
sales: "Do you have a minute?"
Bot as Me: "Don't know, what is it you need?"
sales: actual request that could have been asked first time.
Bot: "Did you ask support yet?"
sales: "yes, they said to ask you."
auto - check if support ticket raised. if not raise one.
auto - check my heart rate for measure of intensity in work.
Bot: "I will be with you in 10 minutes."
sales: no response because.
9 min later
auto : notification on computer of just the important details.
1 min more:
Me: check email from support that they fixed issue.
Me: forward support email to sales person.
Me: back to day job.

Nothing new, after all: the boss is already unhuman.
Oooops, wait, does the 'I' stand for 'intelligence'?

AI, not AU, otherwise you will soon be bragging of having made the Kessel Run in less than 2475180 AU (= 12 parsec).

SPOILERS BELOW
Kessel is a planet inside a large magnetic storm and there is only one mapped route to make it through without serious risk called the Kessel Run. The length of the route varied over time but it was much longer than 12 parsecs. In the movie, Han had to pilot the Falcon off of the route and through the storm; emerging after only traveling ~12 parsecs. It was one of the better parts of the movie, IMHO, and became the source of the bragging rights.

Thing is; while AI's may be used to make weather-predictions more accurate, they lack this thing called common sense. It has no way of verifying its conclusions, and stands and falls with correct assumptions on the data.
