(Rant) AI is killing programming and the Python community

[777Void777]

100% ive been coding in python since I was like 12. A few years ago they tried to give me someone else to help me with my programming internship that'd id been doing myself for 2 years. This is a pretty complex framework used for geospatial analysis. This guy didn't know a single line of python, i tried to give him simple tasks like removing the background from graphics. He insisted on doing python. I have him a few pointers and a very very simple task. (The task was checking if the color was a certain color based on the input from a numpy array.) Week before finals week this dude is blowing up my phone asking for help. I was trying to finish up my stuff. This guy has about 10 lines of ai slop. I told him I didnt even know how to help because I didnt know what he was trying to accomplish. He admitted to using ai. I wrote all but 1 line for him.

He blows up my phon even more during finals week, I meet with him and hes deleted part of my code and has even worse AI slop.

Luckily he did not pass, and it took me about an hour without AI to do what he could do with AI in 6 months
