@varx Yeah.

The hard parts are understanding what the problem is and its constraints (often the hardest part), and figuring out how a solution within those constraints is structured, what it looks like, etc. Implementation can be difficult for complex solutions, sure, but its never about the actual coding. It's about figuring out all of the corners of the problem and solution. And by the time you have done that, asking an AI bot what it predicts such a solution would look like takes more work than translating it to code yourself.

I have no issues with AI being used for language cleanup and summarisation if there is some human validation of the output - that is a reasonable task. My neurodiverse sometimes asks for summarisations of longer texts I send so she can understand the summary, and if she understands that, sends it to me and asks me if it is what I meant.

None of it is worth the gigantic existential costs of LLM-generative AI that are happening now, but I can acknowledge this much at least 🤣
