And any decent IDE will highlight a variable that is declared but unused. We already have "artificial intelligence" in the form of IDEs, linters, compilers, etc

And any decent IDE will highlight a variable that is declared but unused. We already have "artificial intelligence" in the form of IDEs, linters, compilers, etc. but some people apparently think we should just throw it all away now that we have LLMs.

No need for quotes, the best AI integrations are the ones you see as just part of the tech stack like spell check and linters.

  But that’s WoOoOrK. These stupid sobs want magic that does everything automatically.

    Yes, labor costs aren't magically replaced by trained AI models, MBA protestations aside

Unless you're using Python and said variable was meant to be reassigned, but you used a different name instead. E.g. file_name = 1 filename = 2

  Fairly sure the linters would catch that (unless you referenced both of them in later code).

      Sounds dangerous.
