Oh my godd I'm so tired or this shit
"Uhm actually my field is vey intricate and has a lot of layers than an AI could never replace it.... But yeah your field fucking sucks and I don't care if it gets replaced with AI."
Fuck these fake anti-AI people, if you only defend human writing, but ignore and actively support the end of human art, coding, etc, then you're part of the problem too
I’ve worked a number of jobs in TV, most behind the scenes. I’ve long said most of those jobs people at home wouldn’t know exist unless I make a mistake. That does not mean they were simple jobs.
Many people do not understand the amount of work that goes into other jobs they have never done, nor do they understand what makes someone good at that job.
The only good job AI can replace is the CEO as it doesn't get the urge to rape kids
As someone else, somewhere else, said, people seem to be ok with AI making the work they don't actually know, but can easily pinpoint where AI has its limitations and routinely make mistakes when it's the fields they're actually knowledgable about.
So the problem is people champion the use of AI where they're not directly affected because they look at other people's work as less valuable, more easily replaceable, but theirs is suddenly too complex for AI to get it right.
Yeah he decides "AI is good actually for coding" but the same reasons apply there.
(Note: Non-coders prototyping is a different use case than professional coding - I am talking about professional coding here)
LLM code lets people shit out systems with no intent. And those systems are a waste of time. They just feel "90% there" for people who never had to finish a project in their life.
In the small scale, I get PRs of 200 lines of JS from someone who felt super productive because Claude wrote it for them. What did the JS do? Replicate the CSS "transition" property badly. They could have written one line instead. And gotten a bug-free, efficient, readable and maintainable version of what they were trying to do instead.
In the large scale, you get thousands of lines of RPC middleware instead of someone saying "hey at this point, should we move this responsibility from module A to module B and get rid of a lot of code?"
And I refuse to be on the defense of luddite or hater like the author does. Because I have never heard that claim from anyone who is capable of actually shipping stuff better or faster than me.
This has been going on a lot longer than AI, where the programmer (in this case the AI) isn’t aware that a function that does what you need already exists, it goes making it from scratch. It ends up slower and less stable than the proven function, but they get it to run, so to them it’s a success.
When I started to get a grasp on programming, I realized early on that I’m rarely solving novel problems and I should seek out to see how it was solved by others before I even begin to write my own approach. I usually find someone has done all the work for me and theirs works better than mine ever would.
