You don't "need" to. It just achieved a culinary effect

"ability to play chess" and "ability to beat current best-in-class chess algorithms" are technically not the same thing. The second can be achieved by cheating. The first cannot.

Nobody is going to tell you you can't carve your own spoons, smith your own shoes for your horses, and grow your own wheat for your own bread. Just don't blame the people who care more about eating bread than scything wheat.

No, you're just seeing what it looks like when more people are able to make games. It's not the AI that is bad, it's the person who's not putting a lot of work in that's bad. It's just camera phones.

Absolutely not. People just lack imagination in how to use new tools in the pursuit of Eros

This means you don't enjoy making games, you enjoy coding

You don't know what AI means

You're just bad at using LLMs

It's actually a valid extension of your metaphor that introduces nuance that substantially weakens your point

No, it's like ordering a meal from door dash and saying "I got food." Using a tool does not mean you didn't do the thing you used the tool to do. You're conflating "I made X" with "I personally did ev

Using LLMs to write code is only boring if you're only trying to make the same boring things you were capable of doing when writing it by hand.

Then why wouldn't you build it with AI?
16.
by someguynamedq 4d ago
The problem is that you're not putting as much effort into building things with AI as you were by hand. If you were, it would still be satisfying

What are you trying to say? There are a ton of people who care more about being able to make something they're imagining real than engaging in the process necessary to make it happen. This applies to food just as well as it does to sof

Bad example. This is analogous to people prompting an LLM to "generate code for the sake of it" which of course nobody is doing.

No you're just drawing a new arbitrary distinction
20.
by someguynamedq 4d ago
Completely arbitrary distinction. Effort is not more valuable than the results of the effort. This is a mindset that will keep you trapped.

Why do you care? If it's bad people won't buy it. If people buy it, it's only bad to you

You're creating illusory boundaries to protect your ego. AI is not a supernatural category. It's just another thing. It can serve as inspiration the way anything else can. You are not the arbiter of value in art, as much as you tr

Then you're really really bad at using it. At the very least it is functional with minimal effort on codebases with 10s of thounsand

Why do so many people miss that it lets software engineers build more bigger better things? It's not just people who think the job is to create value. It's anyone who cares more about creation itself than the process of the creati

Why do side projects only count if you take 20x as long to do them by not using modern tools?

by someguynamedq 5d ago
No, HN was never this product. You were just more on board with previous trends and for some reason you're not on board with AI

There's no way you think this is comparable to blockchain?
