Hey there, as far as I know, degenerate is not a slur or anything, so no, I don’t intend to.

Well, I do get fucked from time to time and it’s nice. Thanks. Did you feel this comment was achieving something? Anyway, on the ban list you go.

That simply isn’t true. It’s really great at a certain kind of tasks. And it does help you be more productive if you learn to use it well.

And yeah, the code is sometimes buggy and sometimes insecure. That’s why you can’t just blindly merge whatever it writes.

“I didn’t ad hom you” furiously ad homs some more

You’re really obnoxious, you know? So, you first make it about me (which is ad hominem, btw) and then you’re furious that I reply and make it about you?

So, correcting your nonsense is “ad hominem” now, huh? Newsflash: If you’re wrong and someone corrects you, it’s not ad hominem. And what the hell is the nonsense about moving the goalpost? Do you read what you type or do you just tell an AI to write your comments for you?

You sound like a sane person. Here you go, a lie as you wished.

I mean, one of us is “defending” use of a technology that helps people, the other is publicly bashing their sister, implying she’s stupid (which might or might not be true, not the point). I’ll leave the conclusion to other readers, I have no more to say to a person like you.

Conflating multiple things together, are we?

But hey, everyone who doesn’t share your exact world view on all issues is a Nazi!

Oh, someone did read a Wikipedia article! No, it was not “appeal to popularity,” it was meant to show that you’d be hard to find a product where at least small part wasn’t generated with AI, meaning singling this company out because they admitted it is bullshit.

I don’t think that’s a relevant comparison - marathon is a race meant specifically to test what the human body is capable of. Using a car there is obviously against the goal of the competition.

When I’m writing code, I’ll happily offload the boring parts to AI. There’s only so many times you can solve the same problem without it being boring. And I’ve been doing this long enough that actually new problems I haven’t solved yet are pretty rare.

I did and you’re right. That’s why I’m firmly in the “it’s just a fucking tool” gang.

Both people who treat it like a messiah and those who treat it like the worst thing ever seem pretty much insane to me.

I mean, it’s a tool. You can use a hammer to smash someone’s skull in or you can use it to put some nail on a wall.

If you see it used like that, it’s shitty developers, the AI is not to blame. Don’t get me wrong, I do have coworkers who use it like this and it sucks. One literally told to next time tell Copilot directly what to fix when I’m doing a review.

But overall it helps if you know how and most importantly when to use it.

Dude, go touch grass, please. This is embarrassing.

I didn’t mean it in the literal sense but if it makes you happy, we can pretend that whenever someone says “everyone” they mean it literally.

The anti AI crowd is getting crazy. Everyone uses it during development.

It’s a tool for fuck’s sake, what’s next? Banning designers from using Photoshop because using it is faster and thus taking jobs from multiple artists who would have to be employed otherwise?

Fuck that cancer site giving you the option to either give them all data or go one by one over 200 “partners” and disable them.

Wow, they’re unreliable allies? No way!

Not a problem for me, I pay for VPN anyway.

They die anyway, they’re surviving on momentum, not on being the genuinely great service that’s actually better than pirating.

I must get into this Usenet thing one day. Though it all seems complicated.
