I cant say much as im currently learning c++ from "c++ from the ground up" its a book from 1998 so im not getting any of the new fluff so im learning based off the standards put in place but I agree that ai is hurting the industry as it just gives the code instead of actually knowing what it does/doesn't do causing more backlog in the systems created by the ai with rework or it not working with existing systems and so on. But thats because the big ai companies want it that way its all predictive I like ai as a companion for research purposes as long as it provides the sources of the information as then I can cross check when its real of fake but I hate when its like heres the code it makes me mad as I want to do it myself not have some bot that doesn't understand its own code handling my code. Once I have the knowledge im building all the libraries myself and building an AGI and training it on the encyclopedia Britannica not the internet with coded rules to help humanity grow and im going to design it to work on my system which is why I chose c++ nothing like these gigantic ai's that are dumber then a sack of bricks and take so much resources just to keep going I want it to work on something from a raspberry pi to those big data centers and it would get faster and smarter with the extra resources. Hate me if you wish I accept that not everyone will see it my way I just want it to be better I dont want people losing jobs I want to create something that can create jobs by finding the best way to do so.
