"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- No misinformation.
- No NSFW/NSFL content without being labeled NSFW or being in an appropriately-labeled spoiler tag.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- No AI-generated content. If you want to post examples of AI failing hillariously, there are other communities for that like !ArtificialIgnorance@lemmy.ca .
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

Your example sounds fine to me, but I wonder if maybe the real value of AI coding that you're seeing is not "AI writes code" but rather "AI ignores all the coding rules/conventions, which were being badly applied in this case."
Like, I could picture trying to write a simple tool as you describe and running into the wall of "We're an Angular shop so you need to use the framework." But the AI isn't forced to follow these rules, so it can do a decent job.
This has been the main value of AI to me. It's just like, "sorry, the machine won't let me do a refund," as an alternative to listening a customer scream that they deserve a refund.
