      Anti AI arguments are always good for a laugh. I enjoy using the best tools for my job. Sometimes the best tool for software development is AI. Sometimes AI does a bad job and other tools work best. What does that make me? A software developer, I suppose.

          If making art is the process of getting something inspired in your head into the physical world, then it would make one an artist. AI would be a tool to achieve that.

          Many people still don’t consider digital artists to be artists because they use tools that make it easier than physical art.

          I’m not arguing that using AI makes me a software developer. I’m saying that as a software developer, I seek to use the best tools for the job, just like any other job.

              I never said anything about artists. I don’t think AI has much use in artistic endeavors. I’m talking about a software development job.

                  There’s no push back from the developers at my company or the developers that I interact with. We have been embracing it for the use cases that AI is good at. There is lots of manual effort that us software developers don’t like doing that AI automates easily. I believe the mass layoffs that companies are doing are using AI as a convenient excuse in uncertain economic conditions.

        AI Bros are always good for a laugh. They can’t point to any industry successes, pretend massive industry failures like Microsoft don’t count, and generally trust their own feelings over facts.

          Can I take a guess that you are not currently employed in the software development industry?

            There you go, predictably making more baseless claims. If these things are supposedly so great, prove it.

            And how did you hallucinate a misspelling in my comment? Maybe take a break from Elon’s CSAM bot for a while.

              Because I typed it.

              I don’t need to prove anything, but mostly, your issue seems to be that you think a shitty in-painting image model has anything to do with the usefulness of something like Github Co-Pilot.

              If you don’t understand something it’s ok not to have the edgy opinion on it by default.
