Re: My AI skeptic friends are all nuts

Re: My AI Skeptic Friends Are All Nuts There was a post recently that was dissing AI Skeptics. While the post is funny at times, I feel like it’s absolutely and completely missing the point of the skepticism. Or at least I feel that it is glossing over some massive pain points of said skepticism. Let’s go over some of the points and the things that stuck out to me as problematic.

You might not like it, because you are an advanced user, but a young person just coming into the craft absolutely needs to figure all that shit out —otherwise all their experience will be something akin to oh I’ll just ask my agent to do that for me. The majority needs guardrails; otherwise there will be a harsh tipping point where suddenly people will no longer remember how to structure code or design a simple application. They either yet lack the ability to think critically and try to look for different solutions, or they are just tired and burned out by the rest of the things they need to care about and they will say the dreaded line: it looks good enough.
