"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 fucking hate vibe coding and stuff but their usage of AI seems more like autocompletion and tooling around the code. So nothing really frightening from my point of view
Even "generating boilerplate" isn't a good use case for AI. My coworker gave a presentation on how he used AI to "generate boilerplate" for a Go project and like 90% of the mountain of slop he generated was just not necessary. There's a snuck premise here that you need to generate a mountains of boilerplate, but that's not always the case. AI is cementing bad practices at my company.
The most people I see complaining about this kind of AI usage seems to have more a coworker ability / practice issue than an actual problem with AI. Nothing requires to accept AI slop (even for boilerplate) and it does not spare thorough reviews and practices / codestyle fine tuning. To me its more like a bad intern that works really fast and does not learn much. So with good and precise directions you can achieve something, otherwise you can do it yourself faster. It can of course become an issue if your code review loads increase too much due to people pushing AI generated PR
