i love it when the AI declares and sets important sounding variables it then never uses 🙄
Comment on Why are people seemingly against AI chatbots aiding in writing code?

I agree AI is a godsend for non coders and amateur programmers who need a quick and dirty script. As a professional, the quality of code is oftentimes 💩 and I can write it myself in less time than it takes to describe it to an AI.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. I am not a coder but using chatGPT I was able to take someone else’s simple program and modify for my own needs within just a few hours of work. It’s definitely not perfect and you still need to put in some work to get your program to run exactly the way you want it to but it’s using chatGPT is a good place to start for beginners, as long as they understand that it’s not a magic tool.

Why?
I mean, it is such a cruel thing to say.
50% of these poor non coders and amateur programmers would end up with a non-functioning script. I find it so unfair!
You have not even tried to decide who deserves and gets the working solution and who gets the garbage script. You are soo evil…

I think the process of explaining what your want to an AI can often be helpful. Especially given the number of times I’ve explained things to junior developer’s and they’ve said they understood completely, but then when I see what they wrote they clearly didn’t.
Explaining to an AI is a pretty good test of how well the stories are written.
