  Luddites didn’t fear technology, they feared for the commoditisation of manual labour and they were dead on right as pauperism followed.

    Which means calling some anti-AI people Luddites make perfect sense, no? Many of them have just as valid of a worry and fear as the Luddites did.

    Of course, once the anti-AI sentiment goes mainstream, the amount of idiots who are irrationally anti-AI also increases, and these ones are not worth listening to, unlike the Luddites-like ones.

  What’s the opposite of a Luddite? Hey, if you enjoy bending over and letting techbros do with you what they will, don’t expect me to provide any lube. Now run along and ask ChatGPT how you should feel about this response.

    Anti AI arguments are always good for a laugh. I enjoy using the best tools for my job. Sometimes the best tool for software development is AI. Sometimes AI does a bad job and other tools work best. What does that make me? A software developer, I suppose.

      AI Bros are always good for a laugh. They can’t point to any industry successes, pretend massive industry failures like Microsoft don’t count, and generally trust their own feelings over facts.

        Can I take a guess that you are not currently employed in the software development industry?

        If you think you’re immune to that, you’re an idiot.

      Yeah and typing “make a picture of a hot dog” into a text field makes one an artist…

        I’m not arguing that using AI makes me a software developer. I’m saying that as a software developer, I seek to use the best tools for the job, just like any other job.
