Everyone is talking about AI replacing testers, writing tests, and transforming software quality. But what if we're asking the wrong question? In this solo episode, Joe Colantonio shares a growing concern he's seen while traveling across the country for TestGuild IRL events: a decline in testing fundamentals at the exact moment AI hype is reaching a fever pitch. Drawing insights from Carissa Véliz's book Prophecy: Prediction, Power, and the Fight for the Future, Wayne Roseberry's work on AI and meaning, and Tariq King's concept of Human Experience Testing, Joe explores why AI systems may be far less intelligent than many believe, and why human testers remain more important than ever.
