The reflexive and moralistic anti-AI takes are starting to get more annoying than the actual AI slop
- sodapopcan 8mo agoGetting annoying, yes, not more annoying than the actual slop, though, that's ridiculous.
- nomel 8mo agoI suspect a subpopulation of software development is going to become a bit religious, for a short while, split into "morally pure anti AI" and those who are busy using software as a means to an end to solve some real world problem. I think the tools will eventually be embraced, out of necessity, as they become more practically useful (being somewhere around "somewhat useful" right now). As a result, I think we'll eventually see a mean shift from rewarding those that are "technically competent" more towards those that are "practically creative" (I assume the high end technical competence will always be safe).
- xyzsparetimexyz 8mo agoHad he been able to, should Mozart have used a LLM to help him compose Don Giovanni? There are things more important than being productive.
- nomel 8mo agoif you think your code is art like mozarts music, then you're probably part of the first group rather than the group trying to simply get something practical done with software as a means to do it. Should Mozart have constructed the instruments himself? Or plucked the strings himself? No, he had someone else take care of all that so he could compose music. AI can be used the same way: take care of boring stuff so I can compose a solution to a real world problem. No, that doesn't mean AI has to do everything for you, which outright bans don't seem to be able to comprehend.
- terminatornet 8mo agoNo they aren't.
- andybak 8mo agoI find one easier to avoid or ignore them the other.
