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.

I posted a response in another reply but thats for sharing something. still does not support the claim of dog-shit developers

Oh I get it now- you ARE one of those dog-shit AI vibe programmers.
darkkite@lemmy.ml 2 days ago
if that makes you feel better, but i wish you responded to the original claim with data vs ad hominem. but if you’re so good can i view your github to learn how you program?
supernight52@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Lol, no- because I’m not a programmer. I do server admin work- so I closely work with our programmers. I work with people that actually can do their job.
And for your data: www.media.mit.edu/…/your-brain-on-chatgpt/
If it degrades brains with use in Essays, it will do the same for your regular work.

it’s wild that someone who doesn’t program would degrade others who can because the majority of developers who use ai-based tools.
The study does not prove that claim. Better to link directly to the study arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872
The study does suggest only relying on ChatGPT could reduce engagement in the specific task of essay writing and harms recall. It does not prove ChatGPT is causing individuals to become less intelligent in the act of programming.
There are many studies that shows the potential positive outcomes when utilizing LLMs
