I quite enjoyed the story but that said I feel like you can say this about almost any advancement. I’ve heard it about higher-level programming languages enough, heck my EE teacher in college regularly made fun of or belittled anyone who wanted to be a “web developer”. Honestly I don’t have the time or patience to hear about how bad “AI” is. It’s a freaking tool, that’s it. A powerful one but no different from the printing press up through the smart phone.
The AI doomers are so tiring (not saying that’s what this story is about). In fact in the end this story praises the ideas over what’s generated but at the end of the day the idea isn’t worth much if you don’t have the skill or means to bring it to fruition. It’s the same way I dislike people that hate electron because it’s electron. There are countless apps that would not exist without electron. The choice was not “native app” or “electron”, it was “electron” or “nothing”. I assume those people also thing 1 piracy = 1 lost sale, just absurd.
At the end of the day tools that let people accomplish more on their own than thought possible are a good thing. My entire side business hinges on tools (not AI) that make it possible for me to write code once and use it in many places, without that I’d need to know 3 languages/ecosystems verses 1. Now, would full native be better? No doubt, I’ll never argue against that _but_ if the alternative is something not existing then I’m happy to settle.
