  an elitist response.

  here’s actual data survey.stackoverflow.co/2025/ai

    Not elitist to say that people who use what are essentially weighted random word generators for programming, a career that requires one to know exactly how their code works in case it breaks, are bad at their jobs. Just like how it’s not elitist to say that generated images are not art, and that flying a plane into a building doesn’t make you a good pilot.

      Using AI doesn’t mean that you lose the ability to reason, debug, or test generated code. All code merge should be peer-reviewed and tested

      We’re not discussing images, nor planes.

      The claim was tech savvy people, the same people who are most opposed to AI.

      There’s data that to suggest otherwise. people who are technically inclined engage with AI more and have a more positive reception compared to less experienced users.

      Unless you have additional data to support that they are in-fact “dog-shit programmers”, this appears to be an emotional claim colored by your own personal bias. Though if you’re a “pure” programmer who is better than the dog-shit developers I would love to see some of your work or writings.

        Oh I get it now- you ARE one of those dog-shit AI vibe programmers.

        While AI use doesn’t guarantee loss of cognitive abilities there is growing research showing that it is likely.
