Using AI is not the same as vibe coding.
Asking AI to write a piece of code and then read it, understand and use, is a very reasonable use case.
i've been in dozens of lemmy threads that disagree...
There's a huge portion of lemmy who think even one token of AI is unacceptable for any reason
I'm in a thread where the entire idea of AI/LLMs has been declared facist, with ZERO legitimate use cases other than facism
A disappointment I've noticed with lemmy is that its community doesn't often see the nuances in things as if to day its all black or white. Its probably not just lemmy, but all internet communities nowadays. Lemmy just sways towards anti AI more and it really leaves a bad taste when coupled with "if not with us, then against us" mindset.
Yes. It's not just about nuance anymore. In the old days on the internet you can find some spaces where there's at least a baseline level of intellectual honesty. Lemmy has not escaped echochamberization.
