The slop is now prohibitively expensive. Good.
Every single person who mentions using AI for anything- any reason at all- all I can do is imagine what face they would make if I spat in it.
Said like someone who doesn’t understand that AI is a tool that can greatly improve your work life and productivity.
If I was you I’d do some research into it, especially around GitHub copilot, and get learning - or you’re going to be left behind. If you’re a dev then you are signing your careers death warrant by having that attitude.
If it is a sooo big productivity improvement just pay for it. Or maybe you mean it was a worthwhile productivity improvement when it was almost free?
I wouldn't even like what I do if I had to use this shit.
Stanley Parable button pusher life for real.
Actually it can be a very useful tool, if you know what you're doing. Expensive in real terms, so only for tasks which are worth it. So perhaps not for making annoying cat videos.
