It's likely because people enjoy the benefits AI brings in their current form. I honestly cannot imagine my life now without gpt4/claude as it saves me hours writing shell scripts and transforming vaguely structured data. Edit: yes it does make mistakes, but it takes vastly shorter amount of time to find them rather than writing something from scratch.

> Edit: yes it does make mistakes, but it takes vastly shorter amount of time to find them rather than writing something from scratch. To me, it feels like there will definitely be features or even entire products out there that wouldn’t exist without something that lowers the barrier of entry far enough for someone to overcome the zone of proximal development: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_of_proximal_development https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_of_proximal_development Just the other day I was able to introduce some custom ESLint rules into the project to make the import names match the filename (e.g. when someone renames a Vue component but the import names don’t change or you don’t notice those usages, so you end up with bunches of <OldComponent /> all over the place). I wouldn’t have had the time to do so without ChatGPT/GitHub Copilot nudging me in the right direction and giving me examples to work off of, because frankly my searches for about 15 minutes didn’t turn up anything either. Clearly that counts for something because nobody in any of my projects had done that previously, now it’s obvious that basically we need a local package added to the project (in package.js) but also that we can store it in the file system and just use the file: syntax. It was much the same story with some .cjs Node prebuild scripts that remind the developers that they should make examples of the new components they make in a development showcase page and so on. Aside from that, LLMs are useful for boilerplate stuff (hello, ASP.NET and Spring Boot), as well as simple one shots when you don’t want to rack your brain coming up with a particular RegEx, amongst other cases. If someone wants an LLM in the browser, good for them! If someone doesn’t want to add them to their browser project, that’s their rightful choice.

  I was trying to justify why people have a negative response to it.
