"Relieved, and then immediately guilty about the relief, and then annoyed at myself for feeling guilty about something that is, by any rational measure, a completely reasonable thing to do."

Honest piece on the ethics of AI code tools now that they're actually good. It's easy to opt out of something that doesn't work. It's a lot harder when your industry is making it a requirement and you still need to pay rent.

The CEO of Persona, the company that processes your passport, selfie, and facial geometry so you can get a verified badge on LinkedIn, doesn't have a profile picture on LinkedIn.

I'll let you sit with that.

@Hunko That’s a *very* Irish and British turn of phrase.

It can also be truncated to just “Gis a kiss”, as in “Give us a kiss”, which comes across far less demanding & bossy than the singular “Gimme a kiss”.

BTW, I believe this is an Xcode issue, not a ChatGPT issue. I haven’t been able to deep-dive into it enough to determine the generated code quality, due to the usage limiting being imposed.

Initial experiences with ChatGPT in Xcode:
- code generation is not bad at all, for some basic stuff…
- until you hit the usage limit in the free tier.

So I subscribed for the ChatGPT Plus. All good, until I got suddenly usage-limited again.

Checked the subscription settings, yep it’s paid for. Checked in Xcode, it still thinks I’m on the free tier.

Signed out and in again, but Xcode refuses to pick up on the account subscription.

Not a good or confidence-inspiring experience so far.

I think it’s time for a Cook-out.

@stopitwolfe Genuinely, they look so cool. Good catch.
