I think this is fairly accurate even though people on Lemmy often hate seeing
any positives with Ai. But if you are objective, you can see how this part of Ai

it has always been practical. even before i started working as a software developer 25 years ago, i had made numerous games, programs and scripts for myself, family or friends. from simple backup scripts to reminder apps and interesting graphic hacks. it’s not that hard. most languages are very similar, so the most important bit is to choose the best language for the task, like i would choose Java for automatic layout management in the GUI, for example.
