    It doesn’t benefit everyone if it pushes the quality down

    Look I know some people will chime in and say things were better when programmers had to do their own memory management but I can’t say I agree. Good tools don’t push quality down. People using tools incorrectly certainly does and it’s a guarantee some people will use new tools incorrectly.

    Having a tool that can chew through a lot of code and give you suggestions which can be verified is indisputably valuable. Is it worth all the datacenters? Hell no. But open source people aren’t driving that.

      The problem is that most of the people that are using it are not using it correctly and are not using it in a manner that they are just simply trying to find something to correct it. They’re literally using it to write the code and they’re barely scanning it afterwards. Therefore it’s creating a mishmash spaghetti bullshit that nobody wants.

        Do we think when the hammer was invented people only used it correctly? If 99 people out of 100 used it incorrectly would that make it a bad tool? I don’t think so. How people use it in general doesn’t have anything to do with the usefulness of the tool when used correctly.

          That is a super idiotic statement there. The amount of people not using a hammer correctly compared to the amount of people not using AI correctly is nowhere near any sort of even percentage correct. Like I am flabbergasted you would even try to make that sort of comparison.
