Many have the attitude of finding one edge case that it doesn’t work well and dismiss AI as useful tool

I’m an early adopter and nowadays all I do is to co-write context documents so that my assistant can generate the code I need

AI gives you an approximated answer, it depends on you how to steer it to a good enough answer and this takes time and learning curve … and evolves really fast

Some people are just not good at constantly learning things

Many programmers work on problems (nearly) *all day* where AI does not work well.

> AI gives you an approximated answer, it depends on you how to steer it to a good enough answer

Many programmers work on problem where correctness is of essential importance, i.e. if a code block is "semi-right" it is of no use - and even having to deal with code blocks where you cannot trust that the respective programmer did think deeply about such questions is a huge time sink.

> Some people are just not good at constantly learning things

Rather: some people are just not good at constantly looking beyond their programming bubble where AI might have some use.

Jenny, please try to conduct yourself with some sense of decorum here -- These are real people you're bullying. This isn't a hatemonger platform like some of the others. Please try to do better


That doesn't seem bullying to me


they called me an idiot in the other thread for pointing out AI is broader than just LLMs (after they called everyone that uses AI an idiot) lol they’re clearly very angry and bitter, and I believe this is not the first account they’ve made to bombard threads with insults. in another comment they advocate for insulting the “AI idiots”

it’s not bullying in that it’s more entertaining than insulting, but still

ah in another comment (I am enjoying reading these):

> Ruthlessly bully LLM idiots

quite openly advocating for “bullying” people that use the bad scary neural nets!


you're putting words in my mouth. i said the big STUPID neural nets.


now THIS is pod racing! :)
