> AI is writing more code than ever and this takes the passion out of it.
When you write code, you learn. When you write code, you grow. Your brain is doing things when you solve problems. Programming is not just the destination -- the product -- it's the journey.
I'm sure I can write something to solve my crossword puzzle in less than a second. But you know what, a completed crossword puzzle is pointless. It's the solving, not the product.
When you ask AI to write code, well, you learned you can press a button and get a thing.

We have mass-production and yet people still do their own woodwork, sometimes as a hobby, sometimes professionally.
- 00F_ 4y agowe have mass production. if you could mass produce fine woodwork then people wouldnt do it professionaly. if you could mass produce clothing then there would be no sweatshops. cloth is really hard to manipulate apparently. i mean, the only things that humans do professionally are things that machines cant do. and all that matters is what people do professionally because thats what keeps us locked into the economic equation. when the task-space of humans is totally saturated by machines, 100%, thats like dividing by zero. everything will change and, in the long term, not for the better. and thats just the economic aspect of AGI.
