   boring and obvious take, but i find AI stuff only interesting when it fails in hilarious or dangerous ways, and i find grifters and snake-oil salesmen fascinating in a crime-drama kind of way. i'll never respect AI output as a creative work because it's just random machine garbage and i'm only interested in real people's art and struggles, because i can emotionally connect only to real people, i mean that is why we do art, writing, film, games etc, not to look at machine kitsch

     @whitequark @mntmn repetitive switch statements are the quint essential golden task for me that fall exactly into that niche

     @mntmn basically the only utility i found for it is "stuff so mind-numbingly boring i don't want to do it myself, but sufficiently compact that i am willing to check the result thoroughly" which is a sliver of activities so thin i can probably count on two hands every time when a situation like that has arisen

     _so_ not worth the ... everything.

     @timonsku @mntmn I needed someone or something to fill in the blanks in the most aggravatingly tedious React bullshit today, and it worked basically perfectly. also just about the only times I ever got output that wasn't subtly wrong in some critical way

     @timonsku @mntmn I strongly feel that asking another human being to write React is, at the very least, rude, so while it _still_ doesn't justify the energy expenses and economic destruction and such, at least I avoid being rude to someone I presumably like

     @whitequark @mntmn yea, they should have left it at the state in 2021 it was already great at that bs back then and everything developed after that point turned into the dystopian mess we have today
