"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I'm done using AI – Brett Codes (brettcodes.com)

Upon reflection, I've come to believe that quality software is not about how many features something has or how quickly it is built but rather how cared for it is by the designers, developers, and product people who work on it. There's an ineffable aspect to my favorite pieces of software where I don't think of it is as feature matrix but rather as an interface made by a human for humans that's a joy to use. And when you build software with AI, it leads to worse software. Sure, it's faster to build initially, but I think to the detriment of the quality of the code and the user interface and the user experience.

I'm in a similar boat. It's crazy the comments. I'll review code and make suggestions, but it's for a coworker who has surrendered their critical thinking. I'll get back the next revision with yet more code comments explaining the changes "why they were necessary", context that literally does not matter. The code comments just are a chronological summary of the code review passes. I hate it.

Yes I utilize AI for writing my own code as well, as a whole I feel it makes me slower but produce more durable output, unreasonably so. But durable in ways I don't think will matter, edge cases.

Just the other day I had to explain to it why making a fundamental change to be protected in case a botnet with 600 thousand unique IP addresses hits the endpoint in a single minute was stupid. All of this to hedge against a scenario where an actor can exhaust the cache and evict other values.

As if our infra can even tolerate that.

I hope the bubble pops soon.
