This essay from @jenniferplusplus is very good, and very important.

It’s good enough and important enough that I’m just going to QFT the heck out of it here on Mastodon until I annoy you into readying the whole thing.

This essay isn’t the last word on AI in software — but what it says is the ground level for having any sort of coherent discussion about the topic that isn’t all hype and panic.

Losing the imitation game

AI cannot develop software for you, but that's not going to stop people from trying to make it happen anyway. And that is going to turn all of the easy software development problems into hard problems.

@inthehands @jenniferplusplus TLDR a machine which can cobble language elements together is not an intelligent machine.

Also, like electronic calculators, they help us with the easy work and take away our opportunity to learn and grow by performing the basics and understanding the fundamentals ourselves.
