Comment on AI chatbots unable to accurately summarise news, BBC finds

  I don’t necessarily dislike “AI” but I reserve the right to be derisive about inappropriate use, which seems to be pretty much every use.

  Using AI to find pertoglyphs in Peru was cool. Reviewing medical scans is pretty great. Everything else is shit.

  I work in tech and can confirm the the vast majority of engineers “dislike ai” and are disillusioned with AI tools. Even ones that work on AI/ML tools. It’s fewer and fewer people the higher up the pay scale you go.

  There isn’t a single complex coding problem an AI can solve. If you don’t understand something and it helps you write it I’ll close the MR and delete your code since it’s worthless. You have to understand what you write. I do not care if it works. You have to understand every line.

  “But I use it just fine and I’m an…”

  Then you’re not an engineer and you shouldn’t have a job. You lack the intelligence, dedication and knowledge needed to be one. You are detriment to your team and company.

    “I can calculate powers with decimal values in the exponent and if you can not do that on paper but instead use these machines, your calculations are worthless and you are not an engineer”

    You seem to fail to see that this new tool has unique strengths. As the other guy said, it is just like people ranting about Wikipedia. Absurd.

      You can also just have an application designed to do that do it more accurately.

      If you can’t do that you’re not an engineer. If you don’t recommend that you’re not an engineer.

    That’s some weird gatekeeping. Why stop there? Whoever is using a linter is obviously too stupid to write clean code right off the bat. Syntax highlighting is for noobs.

    I full-heartedly dislike people that think they need to define some arcane rules how a task is achieved instead of just looking at the output.

    Accept that you probably already have merged code that was generated by AI and it’s totally fine as long as tests are passing and it fits the architecture.

      You’re supposed to gatekeep code. There is nothing wrong with gatekeeping things that aren’t hobbies.

      If someone can’t explain every change they’re making and why they chose to do it that way they’re getting denied. The bar is low.
