    The problem is that you really only see two sorts of articles.

    AI is going to replace developers in 5 years!

    AI sucks because it makes mistakes!

    I actually see a lot more of the latter response on social media to the point where I’m developing a visceral response to the phrase “AI slop”.

    Both stances are patently ridiculous though. AI cannot replace developers and it doesn’t need to be perfect to be useful. It turns out that it is a remarkably useful tool if you understand its limitations and use it in a reasonable way.

        No, it’s a car that breaks down once you go faster than 60km/h. It’s extremely useful if you know what you’re doing and use it only for tasks that it’s good at.

            Yeah, that’s what I thought. Another useless AI hater. You people are even worse than the AI fanboy techbros! AI is a wonderful tool for those who know how to use it. It has increased my productivity by at least 30% and it can do all the mundane and boring coding while I focus on the interesting aspects!
