How many more years are going to be wasted with this crap?
Everyone knows that both in theory and practice, AIs are shit are producing code; the only ones who don’t are the ones who are themselves unable to produce decent code and refuse to see the problem.
But yes, let’s keep on pushing more and more until everything is drowned in worthless crap, as if we didn’t already have enough issues with humans producing crap like web technologies, now they’ll be riddled by even more crap.
how many more years
As many as possible running down the clock on climate change and putting our whole economy towards less-than-useless bullshit.
Killing truth, sloppifying everyone is the point.
I think people are too polite to call shitty programmers out on being shitty. It’s probably not a fair assumption, but whenever I see someone admit they use some AI coding tool, I immediately assume they’re either a junior, or one of those people who just were never intelligent enough to be a good developer, and ended up getting filtered into some low skill web dev job. Those are the kinds of people who probably feel threatened by AI, and I feel are more likely to use it.
We need to make elitism and public shaming cool again.
Capitalism is happy to have cheap code that works “well enough” to sell, and mostly prefers it to expensive code that works “really well.”
The future is full of buggy ass code that runs most services and devices, who’s main priority is vacuuming up data about its users and everyone and everything around them, and then a few high quality products and services only the rich can afford.
Man if you’re not faster with AI I dunno what to say.
You are literally the kind of ignorant people I’m talking about.
It’s like telling a guy who makes wooden jewelry that “dude if u not faster with chainsaw I dunno what to say”, or to someone trying to take down a wall between two rooms that a bulldozer would be faster.
I still cannot comprehend that some people would be “smart” enough to understand basic programming, but then be absurdly lacking understanding of the matter to end with the conclusion that coding “skill” is about speed.
I just don’t know how to even make an example that explains how absurd that is. It’s like having a random naked dude in an archery competition screaming that he won because he shot his arrows faster than all the other contestant, even though most of them landed in the crowd.
I am really at a loss for words for how absurdly stupid that kind of vision of programming and technology is.
I’m literally slower with AI, because I have to waste my time review slop generated code that looks convincing rather than actually works.
If they tried at least to write the code themselves they would get better over time
