AI can absolutely be used in a responsible, effective and enhancing way.

Maybe it can, but only if it’s trained responsibly, and not through the unprecedented exploitation of the labor and culture of the creative class like pretty much every large scale generative AI application out there.

I have yet to see any dev use it in a responsible, effective, and enhancing way. It always makes them take longer and produce worse code. With the exception of those who are already worse coders than the AI.

Humans are lazy and kind of stupid. Given an easy option that works more than, I don’t know, 50% of the time, they’ll do it.

I wonder if anyone’s done studies on how often a “shortcut” has to fail before people stop using it.
