    How many more years are going to be wasted with this crap?

    Everyone knows that both in theory and practice, AIs are shit are producing code; the only ones who don’t are the ones who are themselves unable to produce decent code and refuse to see the problem.

    But yes, let’s keep on pushing more and more until everything is drowned in worthless crap, as if we didn’t already have enough issues with humans producing crap like web technologies, now they’ll be riddled by even more crap.

      how many more years

      As many as possible running down the clock on climate change and putting our whole economy towards less-than-useless bullshit.

      Killing truth, sloppifying everyone is the point.

    • Capitalism is happy to have cheap code that works “well enough” to sell, and mostly prefers it to expensive code that works “really well.”

      The future is full of buggy ass code that runs most services and devices, who’s main priority is vacuuming up data about its users and everyone and everything around them, and then a few high quality products and services only the rich can afford.

      I think people are too polite to call shitty programmers out on being shitty. It’s probably not a fair assumption, but whenever I see someone admit they use some AI coding tool, I immediately assume they’re either a junior, or one of those people who just were never intelligent enough to be a good developer, and ended up getting filtered into some low skill web dev job. Those are the kinds of people who probably feel threatened by AI, and I feel are more likely to use it.

      We need to make elitism and public shaming cool again.
