Comment on Fetcharr - a human-developed Huntarr replacement
irmadlad@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoMy only real conundrum with AI coding, is totally relying on AI as the dev, then releasing it for public use without really knowing what happens behind the scenes and obviously the security of said app. Now if the dev is using AI as an assistant, and the dev is knowledgeable enough to know that things are operating securely, I’m ok with it.
Also people who think they can just vibe code without ever learning how to code for real. I’ll “vibe code”, but I’m also 10+ years experienced. I can quickly detect bullshit from the AI and I check pretty thoroughly.
Some dentist turned vibe coder will make absolute trash
We have IDEs and all kinds of tools to help us code. AI is just another tool. Granted, it’s a tool that needs some heavy regulation, but a tool nonetheless.
@irmadlad @reabsorbthelight in the case of coding also needs supervision. it would totally push to prod on friday closing time lol. But yes it can be a useful tool for certain things....n ot everything the AI companies try to tell us.

Of course not. They are sales. They are trying to maximize the profit potential to their investors. I do believe that if we could get some oversight and regulation, as much as I chafe against regulation…it’s necessary, and get past this novelty stage of AI Rice Cookers, I think AI does have a lot of potential.

Yeah, there’s a version of using AI to help with coding that’s more along the lines of cobbling together pieces from tutorials to figure out how to do something rather than just straight up asking for code and blindly adding it. It’s obviously not going to be as good as code from someone experienced who’s managed to internalize the relevant documentaion, but it’s at least informed by a human who understands what it’s doing
