   At least drugs make you feel good before they destroy you.

   AI code just makes you think about how sand writes code faster than you.

     @thomasfuchs AI code doesn't just make the user feel like shit, it also makes everyone around them feel like shit.

     (Although in fairness, that might have less to do with AI itself, and more to do with how it seems like loud AI bros generally just seem to enjoy making other people feel like shit.)

     @datarama Coding with AI will destroy the people using it (not everyone, some can handle themselves) because of deskilling and anti-social behavior.

     @thomasfuchs Sure. I'm saying that there's a considerable blast radius as well.

     @thomasfuchs Also, most of the slop machine enthusiasts I know aren't concerned about deskilling because they say skills are worthless now anyway.
