"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.

But why would I care about spending a week learning front end stuff when I can spend that week learning stuff that’s actually important for my job? Even had I actually learned it I’d have forgotten by next time I have to use it since too long would have passed.
There’s no glaring issue as big as exposing keys, I’m not that dumb, I don’t let AI have those. There is 100% some redundant code, AI likes to make 10 helpers that do variants of the same thing, but right now it works and still shows no signs of breaking down a year later. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
Again, we're circling the question "why learn anything?" I seen to have as an assumption that it's worth it for its own sake more often than you do.
