Good. Maybe if the stuff trashes enough of our infrastructure somebody somewhere will actually figure out that it's bad and get rid of it forever.
I know, it'll never happen. But a man can dream.

And none of the forced tech support "AI" replacements work. And the companies don't give a shit.

Wait. Ai doesn't have logic built beyond untested data that's thrown at it? Who could had told someone this would happen ahead of time? Conspiracy theorists.

See? AI creates jobs! Granted, it's specialized mop up situations, but jobs!
It'll be even more interesting in the future! Every now and then a T1000 will lose all hydraulic fluids right out it's prosthetic anus and they'll need someone there with a mop and bucket! Our economy lives on...

Me and my team take our site down the old fashioned way. Code copied from some rando on the internet.
Copy pasting random snippets from search results and chatgpt until something works is how I do my job.
“until something works" At least you're doing a better job than some people.
Some leave it at will ai told me so. And they don't know better and put that into prod!

Where’s the articles about humans doing the exact same shit for the last 40-50 fucking years and no one bats an eye. Looks at the prompts from people complaining about ai responses and see they don’t know how to use this shit any better than my grandparents can use a touchtone phone.
“Build an app”
Fails
“This ai is shit”.
Just like ever other piece of technology. Garbage in garbage out. If you can’t reliably describe what you want then no one is going to be able to do it. AI just blatantly points out your descriptive failures.
I've yet to see generative AI make an error that a human couldn't make. Maybe that's why people seem so hateful of it; they were expecting it to be superhuman but instead it's too much like us.

Also it is pure junk. Chat-GPT code may come out fast on the screen but it's garbage. I tried python and c++ both just pure garbage. Sure I got it to do what I wanted but only after a day of hair pulling repetitive madness. Simple task, open an image and invert it . Then we'll it opened the image but didn't invert. Or maybe it's upside down. Can you open the image right side up and invert it....fuck fuck, why is the window full screen? Did I ask for full screen, shit heavens no! Anyway it's a fuckin idiot just rambling code at me.
I use it for Ansible, so not for code, and just to reduce the time my brain is exposed to Ansible.
Open it how using what at what size what codec where, for how long, for what purpose, using what data structures, use what libraries, what versions. You sound like my PO trying to request an update to software they have no comprehension of.

and here's me learning C programming language from a selfhosted AI :/
It's a great launching pad to learn how a language works, but beyond simple things, it get bad very fast.
I also use AI to look for terms in specific domains, which is really helpful as well.
The point of the article isn't that AI is outright useless as a coding tool but that it lulls programmers into a false sense of security regarding the quality and security of their code. They aren't reviewing their work as frequently because of this new reliance on AI as a time saver, and as such are more likely to miss any mistakes that they or the AJ made.

Lulling them into a false sense of security is half of what makes it useless. The fact that it makes shitty code is the other half.

Now now, AJ may not know everything, but he'll learn
