You can hardly get online these days without hearing some AI booster talk about how AI coding is going to replace human programmers. AI code is absolutely up to production quality! Also, you’re all…
The problem is that you really only see two sorts of articles.
AI is going to replace developers in 5 years!
AI sucks because it makes mistakes!
I actually see a lot more of the latter response on social media to the point where I’m developing a visceral response to the phrase “AI slop”.
Both stances are patently ridiculous though. AI cannot replace developers and it doesn’t need to be perfect to be useful. It turns out that it is a remarkably useful tool if you understand its limitations and use it in a reasonable way.
No, it’s a car that breaks down once you go faster than 60km/h. It’s extremely useful if you know what you’re doing and use it only for tasks that it’s good at.
Yeah, that’s what I thought. Another useless AI hater. You people are even worse than the AI fanboy techbros!
AI is a wonderful tool for those who know how to use it. It has increased my productivity by at least 30% and it can do all the mundane and boring coding while I focus on the interesting aspects!
Just because there’s a percent sign doesn’t mean it’s statistics, smartass. If I finish 4 tickets in the time I usually take to finish 3 tickets, then that’s a roughly 30% efficiency increase. That’s not statistics, it’ s just plain old elementary school algebra!
But don’t bother replying. I realize now that this post is occupied by human dregs that will be out of a job within the next 5 years because they refuse to interact with AI at all.

Don’t forget all these artists and developers are staring unemployment in the face so it’s no wonder they phone it in when they “try” to use AI.
“Make me a program that does this complex thing across many systems… It didn’t work on the first try AI SLOP REEEEEEE!”
Forks suck at eating soup yet are still useful.
Great analogy! Even in this thread there are heaping amount of copium with people saying, “Meh, ai will never be able to do my job.”
I fucking promise in 5 years, ai will be doing the job they have right now. lol
it’s a car that only explodes once in a blue moon!

if that’s the analogy yoou want, make it 20 kmh

did you know 95% of statistics are pulled out of someone’s ass?
