- mostlysimilar 5mo agoCall me old fashioned but I take pride in things I work hard to achieve. I think it's embarrassing to be proud of AI output of any kind, be it software or art or writing.
- rpdillon 5mo agoBut you're acting like everything that you use AI to build is easy to achieve, and that doesn't seem to be true.
- acheron 5mo agoHope all your programs are written in machine code. Wouldn’t want to be proud of compiler output.
- mostlysimilar 5mo agoI mean yeah? Wouldn't you be more proud of your ability to write a program in machine code than you would in assembly? Or more proud of assembly than of C? Or more proud of C than of Python? Each stage takes greater effort, effort which creates skill. Those hard-earned skills are accomplishments to be proud of.
- bigstrat2003 5mo agoWhen LLMs are remotely comparable to compilers, your analogy might hold water. But in the world of today, it holds none.
- senordevnyc 5mo agoAnd I’m sure ctoth’s non-coder friends will be just devastated to hear that some random online account is embarrassed because they’re proud of a little app they created for fun.
- jplusequalt 5mo agoSure, you can feel proud of whatever you wish. But don't share that shit with others and expect them to feel similarly proud of what you did.
- senordevnyc 5mo agolol, you’re literally talking about non-coders that GGGP said they know. No one is sharing their AI stuff here asking you to be impressed.
- bigstrat2003 5mo ago> No one is sharing their AI stuff here asking you to be impressed. That actually happens all the time on Show HN these days.
