Personally I dislike how helpless and useless it makes my fellow colleagues at research.
No thought given, use the first web result (and in most cases, just accept the AI output as search gospel).

In my case it's only used for very obscure issue descriptions my google-fu isnt sufficient enough for or correlating weird bugs with each other.

That's the same reason I hate bicycles! They make travel too easy for everyone. Need to go somewhere? All my associates immediately reach for their bikes, and think of it as the default mode of travel. Heaven forbid they put actual effort into traveling by walking the whole way, or better yet, crawling so that they can include their arms in the endeavor like nature intended.

I only use a bicycle when I'm going to a very obscure location and would have to do my crawling on dirt trails otherwise.

This is disingenuous. Does your bike regularly take you to the wrong destination?

[–] Epp@lemmus.org 1 points 38 minutes ago

I don't know about yours, but my bike has led me to the ground more times than I'd like - face first in some cases. I have the chipped/broken teeth to prove it. Nothing is foolproof, and everything has inherent risk. It's all relative to crawling, but nothing is risk-free.

Except you should be comparing it to motorized wheelchairs. Suddenly all your associates forget how to walk, WALL-E style.

[–] Epp@lemmus.org 2 points 10 hours ago

The events of Wall-E happened over generations. If your associates have forgotten how to walk already then they never knew how to begin with and were just faking it until something came along to save them. So at least now with a wheelchair as a crutch they can actually contribute rather than just pretending to be productive but getting nothing done in reality.

I'd say 99.9% of people. You're actually the first other person I've seen who doesn't!

I hate ai and junior devs pushing ai dente spaghetti code into my project

Then build better guardrails. These are the tools of the future. (And I intend both meanings of the word “tools”.) AI is very good at following rules. In their absence, they require someone far more experienced to drive them properly.

This is a really good point! It used to be “a computer is only as smart as its user.” The same can be said of AI: the model’s results are kind of dictated by the prompt. while anyone can prompt an AI with whatever they want, it takes experience to use an AI to develop a project from idea to v1. At the e d of the day, the AI can search the web better than me, and type faster than I can - but I know what I want my code to do, and I know how I want it done. Those two things don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
