It has to be pure ignorance.

I only have used my works stupid llm tool a few times (hey, I have to give it a chance and actually try it before I form opinions)

Holy shit it’s bad. Every single time I use it I waste hours. Even simple tasks, it gets details wrong. I correct it constantly. Then I come back a couple months later, open the same module to do the same task, it gets it wrong again.

These aren’t even tools. They’re just shit. An idiot intern is better.

Its so angering people think this trash is good. Get ready for a lot of buildings and bridges to collapse because of young engineers trusting a slop machine to be accurate on details. We will look back on this as the worst era in computing.

    Your perspective is actually completely backwards on this

    This process has always been accessible to everyone. You’d google basically the same words you typed into your prompt and it would bring you directly to the same block of code that everybody uses.

    AI on the other hand is currently temporarily being made available for free or low cost because they are actively trying to create a cohort of users who impulsively “just reach for AI” as their first step to solving every problem.

    In a few years you may find yourself praising how “accessible” it is because they occasionally run offers for a week of subscription time for $40 instead of the usual rate of $189.99/mo for entry level access. You may find yourself wondering how people ever lived without it

            Right, I don’t mean “is the one you’re running now going to stop being able to be used without regular updates?”, but rather, “Do you think continuing to have access to updated versions is going to be necessary for it to be useful to you?”
