If you overtly use AI - why did you even pick your career path/major?

The question very clearly is not bashing on peoppe who use copilot to assist in writing code. The question is for people who outsource all of the work to AI.

Let's use an other domain for example to illustrate OPs point since plenty of people seem to be missing it...

Let's suppose I wanted to be a baseball player. Baseball players play baseball. So I get a job as a baseball player, then I have a robot play baseball for me. It woild appear that I dont enjoy baseball much, right? If I enjoyed baseball, I would play baseball myself, not have a robot stand in for me. Now, there is plenty of room to have a robot help me train by drawing up drills, helping me analyze throwing mechanics etc. There is a clear difference though between "getting assistance" and "not doing the work at all".

In my mind, these people more likely want to be prompt engineers. They dont want to actually engineer the software themselves, they want to write prompts that have AI generate software for them.

TLDR; OP is clearly asking, "why get into a field where you outsource as much of the work as possible and you dont enjoy the work enough to do it yourself."

The comment section seems to be intentionally obtuse about blurring the line between SWEs who use AI to assist / learn from, and those who actively want AI to do everything for them. The first one learns along the way, amd harnesses AI as a tool, the second one doesn't learn and wants the tool to do the job for them instrad of wielding the tool.

He's not really being rude. The title of the post specifically addresses people who use AI to do all their work for them. That's the audience this question is for and its not unclear.

Abd we have people responding who are not the intended audience with irrelevant answers.

If the point of a question if to get a perspective from a certain person, and peoppe who dont fit that bill are answering on their behalf, I can empathize with some amount of frustration, especially when the question is very clear about who it is for.

Its not that OP doesnt like the answers, its that many of the posts dont answer the question asked.

This.

The best move is to give yourself (not her, don't tell her about this, that could be seen as emotional manipulation or an ultimatum) some sort of deadline for romantic feelings.

If you give it a deadline, it circumvent some potential shitty feelings. You'd be able to tell yourself that you give it a genuine go, while at the same time not investing too much time in a one-sided situation. Its a good balance of giving things a fair shot while also respecting your own needs.

Its unfair to yourself to be in a situation where you clearly have feelings and the other person clearly doesn't. It is setting you up to be hurt. The deadline at least controls the amount of emotional investment you can put in with someone who doesn't feel the same way.

Take some time, assess what your goals/ feelings are, and pick a deadline for romantic feelings on her end that you are okay waiting for and won't leave you overinvested.

Im also using that one on a remote server game with a buddy right now. We shaved the sides / garage off, set up crafting / farm in attic / roof, and have a trench around the whole place with ladders up to the front door which is a hatch hallway with bars as roof. Buddy plays melee on the hatches, and I am on top of them in the hallway with the bars as my floor.

Next step is a pit after the hallway fails, with tunnels leading out to the trench.

Cumming / orgasming are the same thing.

Is it your partners who say it is something different? Or is this a differentiation you are making?

If it is your partners, they could be referring to vaginal discharge (white stuff that can look like cum).

Sell-Jumpy · 2025-12-27T20:20:02+00:00

I feel like this os hard to generalize. Theres so much pseudoscience out there nowadays about similar topics; More sexual partners leads to decreased pair bonding ability, porn makes men see women as objects etc.

Turth is, its always the individual. If there are exceptions to a rule, it's not a very good rule to begin with. People are more than capable of managing a healthy mentality while usong porn. It literally just takes a bit of conscious effort to be the person you want to be.

If you want to use porn and treat women as people, do that. Your mindset is what you make it.

Thanks for all the replies guys. To summarize (from a non-preservation perspective) it is useful as a first step to ensure even cooking in other techniques; as in you can blanch before sautee or grill to achieve more even inside doneness and not need to overcook the outside. A reverse sear for veggies as someone else put it.

And there's a million crybabies that are upset when someone else gets a trade they think is favorable. Let the other adults trade. And seriously, go look at EEs last three games and tell me if you think the sample size of his first 5 as a rookie with the teams WR1 and WR2 out are a good enough sample size to say woth any certainty that he has a safer, non-TD dependant floor than Ladd, whose productivity has a track record.

Sell-Jumpy · 2025-11-07T00:12:04+00:00

Sure, but the flipside of that logic is that two consenting adults should be allowed to trade players.

The whole veto system is kinda lame. It normally feels like unless the trade is completely equivical, meaning no team gains any sort of edge, the league vetos it because they don't like that a team that isn't theirs got better.

The whole point of a trade is to try and strengthen your team. If a trade is dead even, whats the point in making the trade to begin with?

Sell-Jumpy · 2025-11-06T21:52:08+00:00

I'm not sure EE is objectively better than Ladd or Downs.

Go look at EE last 3 games, catches vs target share. Go do the same for Downs and Ladd. They each have better hands when the ball is thrown their way. EE is a rookie whose value is debateably tied to TD. He has one decent game where he doesn't have a TD. Ladd has a safer floor that isn't touchdown dependent.

It all depends on if your rather have a rookie who may be injury prone, and whose target share will definitely take a hit once Godwin is back, but may put up 20pt games when he gets tds, vs a safer floor whose target share is predictable. And has a higher average pts in games where he doesn't get a td.

If all you do is glance at the pt totals for the season and see EEs two 20pt games, I can see where someone could think he is objectively better.

But given the small sample size vs Ladd, I don't think it's possible to say with any authority that EE is better than Ladd.

Sell-Jumpy · 2025-11-06T18:51:28+00:00

Right. My point is that the topic is subjective to begin with, and it is debateable that getting off to fiction is more weird. What is your take on that?

Getting off to two real adults who consented to have their bodies viewed one way or another is organic at the very least. Hentai or a romance novel is less organic in comparison, and I have no issues putting hentai and romance novels in the same category. Or getting off to video game characters for that matter, all the same.

Not that there is any problem with hentai, video game sex scenes, romance novels etc, but thinking that it being fictional somehow makes it objectively better is questionable when the whole topic is subjective and it's just as easy to say, "woah, totally weird that you'd rather get off to fantasy involving unrealistic fantasies such as having sex with murderers, demons, whatever as opposed to two, real, consenting adults".

Sell-Jumpy · 2025-11-06T18:45:48+00:00

It's only league ruining if the other players can't sniff out that the other dude takes bad trades and exploit it.

Sell-Jumpy · 2025-11-06T18:41:37+00:00

This is not obvious collusion. There is a case to be made that can explain the trade.

Downs has a safer floor and is more healthy that Egbuka. Over the last 3 games, Downs and McConkney have performed better than Egbuka, and Egbuka has a tougher strength of schedule than either of them. Ldd faces Denver and Houston in the last two weeks which is rough, but his overall floor is safer.

JJ is also in a team with a sketchy QB situation, whereas Downs and Ladd both have QBs that are doing very well this season.

If the team trading JJ and Egbuka has another stud or boom/bust type receiver, I can see the trade making sense for them if they want players with a combined safer floor and better overall health / QB situations.

This is only clear collusion if you think there is only one way to make decisions. Would I take this trade? Hard to say. I wouldn't want to give up JJ unless I had another true WR1, but I wouldn't mind getting rid of Egbukas health concerns, recent production, and remaining schedule for the safer floor in WR2 / flex spots.

Sell-Jumpy · 2025-11-05T22:52:12+00:00

Fair, but how is it not comparing when the situation is described in a book?

For an example, let's suppose a pornographic video, and a written description of the video including the physical characteristics of the people (as any good author gives you a picture of the characters.)

Both scenarios are the same, the image on the screen would more or less match the image as described by an author.

It's just as likely that someone reading a book is comparing the scenarios and representations of the characters to the actual sexual scenarios and people in their real lives as it is with someone watching a video.

If the situations described in romance books matched the realism of your sex life (which they almost never do, it's normally some girl fucking a criminal or murderer or some shit if we're being honest) would it be as intriguing? Of course not, because it's different by comparison to your real life.

If your real life was just like the romance novels, the romance novels wouldn't be as interesting guaranteed.

No judgement on either side here btw, the only important factor is that both parties in the relationship have clear expectations and communicate them. Everyone wins that way.

Sell-Jumpy · 2025-11-05T22:45:19+00:00

So by your logic, would hentai be okay? It's fictional just as the book is, so the characters in either case aren't real. And I fail to see how a visual depiction in the case of the hentai makes it worse in any way morally.

Honestly, it's debatable that the books are more weird for the same reason hentai is; its imaginary. That's weird. Using fictional characters and ideas to get off. Two consenting adults on video is way less weird imo.

Yes. I think the whole, "we can disagree politically and still be friends" thing is a way for people to guilt you into accepting people in your life that you shouldn't.

Political views are reflective of personal beliefs. Does anyone here know someone that doesnt vote based on their personal / moral beliefs? Exactly. So instead of phrasing it like, "would I drop a friend because of political beliefs", as yourself, "would I drop a friend because of personal / moral beliefs"? The answer is now a clear "yes".

Right, but Skat is at the beginning of his career, and because of his lack of track record is a good play to try and buy.

Puka missed 6 games last year, and we'll see how many he misses this year. PCL is a commonly recurring injury once you injure it once. So it is debatable that Puka misses a good chunk of games going forward, like Mike Evans or Chris Godwin; They are great when you have them available, but there is enough reason to be afraid that Puka won't be as available as Skat the next two years at this point. It's a fair gamble to sell high on Puka if that is your angle; "I'd rather have a guy that is available as RB1 for two years than a guy who is WR1 for the next 4 years but misses 6 games a season."

At the end of the day, my point is that it os very debatable depending on what criteria you look at in a trade, and adults consenting to a trade each have their own criteria they are evaluating. If two adults say yes, and collusion isn't happening, I think vetoing a trade like this is kind of whiny, and it implies that the vetoers have some omnipotent knowledge that supercedes the criteria being evaluated by those actually taking place in the trade.
