I’m an AI skeptic and in no sense is it taking my peers job. But it does save me time. I can do research much better than Google, explore a code base, spit out helper functions, and review for obvious mistakes.
- coffeefirst 8mo agoYep. And the more time I spend with the agents the more I’m convinced that your way is the endgame.
- gitaarik 7mo agoSo what do you mean with being a sceptic? I thought you meant you weren't convinced of it's usefulness, and therefore don't use it. But you do seem to use it, so what is it you're sceptible about?
- groundzeros2015 7mo agoI’m skeptical that it’s very smart, that it can solve hard problems, and that it’s accelerating. I’m skeptical vibe coding is really viable or saves you time.
- gitaarik 7mo agoOk, so what are you actually using it for?
- gitaarik 7mo agoOh sorry, I see in your original post you use it for research, codebase exploration, and small coding tasks. I think you hit the nail on the head with that AI is ultimately not smart, it'll be dependent on humans for a long time, and we have to review their work, so they won't easily replace us. In that sense I'm also sceptical; the idea that AI can soon replace us. But I'm not sceptical about the power of AI as a tool for humans. I'm actually quite convinced by that by now. Hence my confusion of your remark. But I think we understand the misunderstanding now.
