The invasion of the bullshit generators is completely out of hand.
This level of "AI" is more like "artificial well-formed stupidity" and its volume of output is boundless. We're totally fucked if it doesn't become actually intelligent.
I'm already having to deal with clowns pasting useless chat bot drivel into GH comments and JIRA tickets at work instead using their brains and time to do actual work.
My colleague keeps joking about it being a good time to become a farmer, I'm starting to believe him.

- nyarlathotep_ 1y agoPaying the "toll" here by prefacing my comment with "LLMs are a remarkable achievement with real-world utility; I use Copilot etc" blah blah. But I've reached a point of disillusionment with the current "hype cycle." I'm not even advocating for "grass-fed organic hand-written" code or whatever, but for some reason the hyper fixation on automating writing and programming with the mixed results is just kind of gross to me. It's really turned me off of "programmer culture" and makes me question the future of all this, especially as a vocation. Maybe it says something about me, it just all strikes me as "cheap." Dunno.
