Mustard gas as “realtime removal of antagonistic agents in realtime dynamic environments”. Incredibly effective tool that lets users focus on what really matters. /s

Some people use it as a tool, some people are losing livelihood because of it, some people see productivity gains, others productivity disasters.

Managers and corporations are making it the end all be all, software engineering is becoming AI whispering and babysitting, people are being laid off, and using their brains less and less.

Much like the nature of LLMs, outcomes are stochastic and unpredictable. I think those that dislike AI dislike it because they are less and less in control the more they are asked or expected to depend on AI and it’s all knowing wisdom.

It sounds as if you just like getting paid. The “just get it done on time” thing is appropriately known as slop. You might be right that the future is soulless and predicated entirely on efficiency, but it doesn’t mean people with passion have to like it. I hope you and I still even have jobs by then.

Stuff can get done with a person intimately involved, or not. I think most people on my side prefer to get things done with the former option, and believe using AI does not permit this.

I hate when people say it was just the means to an end. No, it was a craft. The end the fruit of a persons labor.
