News from IT House on June 5th, local time Thursday, inside sources from the media, 404 Media, revealed that Google workers were making a big mockery of AI tools, including Google's own AI programming tool, Jetski. The staff complained that the tools were not reliable enough to make the job more difficult.

In April this year, Google CEO Sandal Pichai said that 75% of the company's new code was generated by AI. But the “anti-AI” engraved within Google shows that some employees don't feel like showing off.

These sarcasm images were posted on Google's internal message board called Memegen, with a sharp tone. During last month ' s Google Year I/O General Assembly, an engraving used a Google launch stage cut-off.

The engraving says, "I/O announced a new way to make the content of the garbage." In the image, the word "slop" is put in rough print on a presentation screen. This picture has been praised by more than 100 other employees.

According to reports, similar engravings were found on Memegen. One employee estimated that the number of anti-AI engravings shared within Google has reached “hundred to thousands” over the past year. The employee added that the number of anti-AI engravings was “surged” whenever Google published new products, updated models or Jetski failed.

The other one mocks Google’s overzealous enthusiasm for AI. In the figure, a large fish on the forehead is squeezing next to a diver who is trying to concentrate on his work. The picture says, "Do you not use AI? Who spends so much time? AI is magic. Are you a Muggle? Today we just launched the new best AI tool." The text on the diver says, "I'm working."

In promoting the 75% Google code that is generated by AI, Pichai places special emphasis on "engineer approval." The underlying fact, however, was that engineers had to recheck a large number of rough codes over and over again, and they were not necessarily satisfied with the work itself.

The same sentiment was expressed in a "Babbonheimer" film-style puzzle. In the figure, Margot Robby plays Barbie with relief and pleasure, with the words: “CL author makes large-scale changes with vibe coding” (IT House Note: CL is the abbreviation of Changelist, meaning code updates in existing projects). Next to that, Killian Murphy plays Robert Oppenheimer, with a heavy look, and the text goes, "Code Examiner."

Another employee complained that AI might have made the writing of the code faster, simply shifting the burden to the follow-up process. The programmer can generate 100 independent missions using AI, but to actually do these tasks, manual review is still required, and eventually takes as much time as without AI.

The employee said, “We found that AI did ease the pressure and bottlenecks of the code generation chain, but everything else became new bottlenecks, including Google’s entire company testing and construction time, delays in manual review, and relatively slow infrastructure and version control systems. Many colleagues have now come to the conclusion that Google's infrastructure and engineering culture was designed for stability and was deliberately slow, and that the pressure to use AI speed is in conflict with such systems.”
