that AI is not good for professional coders

I just read it in a post about AI modes and available payment plans, as well as about token prices and all that stuff …

I read then a lot of comments on it with open eyes and just wondered, jeeeeee, am I totally off or are they all nuts?

then I stumbled over that unfortunate comment … what is a professional coder anyway?

if it was a profession it wouldn’t be called coder, it would have a real name

if it was an analogy to good coder the critical mass of that statement just exceeded its physical limit …

so my fingers started moving and I: don’t comment, don’t comment … but they did it anyway

but I started polite, hey, what do you mean with professional coder?

it didn’t take a minute, seemed he was ready for it and he replied: no good programmer would use that AI model anymore, that’s old and hallucinating too much

then me, still innocent, I see, but why a good programmer would use AI anyway?

he laughed back and said, you can’t do anything without AI, that’s a requirement and if you don’t, you get dismissed

well, I said, when you get fired you are not good enough, eventually wasn’t already before AI?

that then was too much and I got a bunch of nice names back

that then certainly confirmed my suspicion

don’t dismiss your I … use it hard and always, stress it, storm it, as training, that’s the rule to stay in business … specially with yourself

never accept good practices, never accept standard methods, doubt everything, build you own way, build something different, something new …

AI, by its nature, is not able to invent new methods … you can, do it …
