"AI" skills are basically just documentation and it says something about how documentation only gets resources and respect if it is framed as "technology". Which has gender bias all over it.

It really feels like your posts are coming from an alternative universe where coding AIs are not useful.

> developers label the thing deskilling them "skills"

What's happening to devs with the good coding AIs like Antigravity can be understood quite well as moving up into management with a team under them.

Yes, that leads in a direction where you don't need to pay so many meatbags. But "deskilled"? I don't think so.

@hopeless everything is "useful" to someone for some purpose. "but it's useful" is not a good argument because it doesn't say who gets which benefit and who suffers what cost

@tante Coding AIs have been thoroughly, unmistakably useless as recently as early 2025.

Something happened in Q4 2025 and now, generally, they are fast and useful for things you would have had to do yourself (if you even could). It's just a demonstrable fact.

This is "progress" / naked capitalism, people will use it because it works, companies mandate it in the hopes of shedding expensive meatbags.

Nobody is going to send you or I a survey on who should "benefit and suffer what cost".
