    While AI is boosting productivity and is amazing, it also appeals to our worst inner instincts of giving in to authority and outsourcing and taking credit for others’ work.

    Edit2: forgot this is the luddite thread:D

      Nah AI is just garbo in general. Any productivity it gives has a noticible drop in quality and capabilities that result in net loss.

        Idk, AI generated boilerplate code via Copilot and similar utilities have been useful. I wouldn’t trust it to build an entire system, but it does alright at automating mundane shit.

        AI in creative fields might be a different story.

          AI code has singlehandedly increased vulnerabilities across every industry because the shit code is pushed by people who don’t know what they’re doing.

          Net Negative.

            You said ANY productivity. It sounds like you mean amateur productivity.

                Two people have told you that AI can be useful, but not if used by people who don’t know what they’re doing. It boosts the productivity of people who know the field they’re working in, and know the strengths and weaknesses of AI.

                You ignore it and say that because some people don’t know how to use it, it’s completely useless.

                  I said any productivity gains are offset by loss of quality and capability, and I actually think that’s especially true in your coding example due to large measurable increase in security flaws.
