Only sunshine and roses allowed? For all the Ai hype in the media and lot of people blindly following, its good to see and remind us the shortcomings. As long as it is done properly and honest, I have nothing against a “Pro” and a “Contra” article.

Neither do I, personally. Though I am certainly less than inclined enjoy an article where the author is oddly preachy/“holier-than-thou”, sayings things such as you’re not a “real” programmer unless you sacrifice your health debugging segfaults at 3AM or have done the handmade hero challenge (certainly an interesting series to watch, but one that I have zero interest in replicating). Yet the author accuses copilot of having a superiority complex. I cannot say for sure, however I would assume if the article was in favor of AI rather than against, then there would definitely be comments about exactly this.
The overarching tone of the article seems like if it were written as a direct comment toward a user instead, it would run afoul of beehaw’s (and surely other instances’) rules, or at the least come really close to skirting the line - and I don’t mean the parts where the author is speaking of/to copilot.
Is there a programmer version of linkedin lunatics? Seems like there would be heaps of content for it with people like this being the software equivalent of the business major’s motivational posting lmao.
I agree. I think it’s driven by fear. I get it. I’m slightly afraid I won’t have a job in 10 years (or at least a much worse paying one)…
I’m still a much better programmer than AI today. But I don’t cope with the fear by deluding myself into thinking that AI is useless and will stay useless.
The feels a lot like portrait painters saying that photography will never amount to anything because it’s blurry and black and white.
these “ai bad” posts are getting so tiring. they just feel like upvote farms these days.
