Didn’t care when the arts and humanities were being scraped dry, but suddenly they’re all coming out against it now that they’re going after the sciences

basically everyone thinks their work doesn’t deserve to be done shittily by llms but doesn’t mind doing someone else’s that way.
Except a large number of coders. I worked as a software engineer for a while and I can see how. It wasn’t long before I no longer took any pride in the boring software I wrote for the company whose mission meant nothing to me. I would absolutely be using AI if I was still there. The code I write now is for personal satisfaction and enrichment though, so I do it myself.
I mean there’s plenty of people with absolutely no professionalism or pride in their work in every industry
Yes, of course! Software engineers are not broadly unique. They(we) might be uniquely interacted with genai, though.
Yeah I tried coding with ai assistance and it just made me mad. I spent all my time reading and correcting shitty code, which is literally the worst part of the job.
Excuse me, the boss says he wants you to make the button blue.
Can you do it?
Oh, and remember to “embrace AI” while you do it.
Oh, then you must not have used the most recent model… Or you might have prompted it wrong… Or you should have created your own agent so it follows your style…
/s… But I’ve heard these things at work
I hear these constantly and I had to cringe just reading your comment… Every 3 months for the past 4 years it’s been the same thing: “model from 3 months ago was garbage and couldn’t do anything right. model from today is great and is basically agi.”
100000% yes.
Sadly that seems to be the case but maybe they’ll come around and work together in their shared hatred for big tech eventually. Maybe this lesson can teach us to be more considerate towards each other as a society.
