The baseline is much lower. If GenAI gives me code that software engineers all agree is bad, that's not very helpful for most purposes, regardless of whether random non-coders think it looks cool. If it gives me clothing styles that most people think look OK, but are universally recognized as lame by fashion experts... that kinda sounds fine to me?
- hnthrowaway6543 2y agoYou have it completely backwards; bad code can solve a problem. It may objectively work, even if it's bad because it's not maintainable, doesn't handle edge cases, etc. If you're one of the many shitty programmers employed as a software developer, it's still good enough for you. On the other hand, a fashion advisor GenAI that can't tell good fashion from bad fashion is worthless because the whole point is to tell good from bad. If the AI agent is going to pick out stuff which looks bad anyway, why wouldn't I just do it myself and save the $15/month that whatever idiot SF tech app is charging me?
