extending an enormous "bruh" to the people who are making a spreadsheet of all the mainstream programming languages and tools that you "shouldn't use" because they have some tests written by Claude that probably wouldn't have been written without it (ie. it increases correctness). cmon man.

yes there are people writing slop but almost all people who give a shit and work on production systems don't (and are probably busy getting their day ruined by jackasses wielding chatbots even if they do use them themselves).

leftists gobble up purity politics better than devout Catholics.

@leftpaddotpy I'm afraid I'm mostly with them on this. I'm fully aware I'm going to need to compromise and use some of this stuff, but at the very least I want to know who is using it for what so I can make informed decisions. The mere fact that it's potentially so opaque is a huge part of the problem. My urge to set all the tech in my life on fire and go farm goats is intensifying day by day.
@leftpaddotpy (My anti-AIness isn't particularly morality or principles, I just think it's going to have rapid cognitive and quality impacts anywhere it's applied, and I want my systems to have as little exposure to that as possible.)
