The fact that some people don’t want to see AI being used to generate code does not make them dumb or misinformed. They may be informed, and simply reached a different conclusion than you.
Also, you have to consider that some of the most popular tools are controlled by a select few and that concentration can be used to control markets and users, reinforce biases, and shape what gets encouraged.
Finally, the use of AI can easily feed into a maximalist view of "produce more and faster" that has direct consequences like layoffs, increased cost of hardware, increased resource usage, increased environmental impact.
The majority of naysayers are touting deeply misinformed falsifities.
Its not a matter of guessing their intent, theyre quite outspoken on why they think its bad.
And the majority of them tout talking points that are years out of date at best.
Some valid points get brought up, but most of the points tend to be in the "these armchair devs have zero goddamn clue about how things actually are, they just are bandwagoning into an angry mob"
Did AI also tell you this was a word?
