damn dude, did you completely fail reading and comprehension? because you're replying to a link to me pointing that exact fuckin thing out.
maybe slow down and try harder.
like, it's in the link title text, right there.
as long as they stay proficient. but prolonged exposure to AI slop tends to have a damaging effect - https://thenewstack.io/karpathy-says-developers-have-ai-psychosis-everyone-else-is-next/
so I stick with my premise: how long before it has an effect on him?
Do you completely fail at critical thinking? I'll slow it down so you can understand:
Linus sees sloppy code written by a human
Linus sees sloppy code written by an AI
Why did #1 not corrupt him have decades, but #2 definitely will? There is no reason, sloppy code is sloppy code whether written by a human or written by an AI.
You're equating shitty developers becoming vibe coders with a skilled software engineer using a tool. I think you just don't know the difference between a junior developer and a senior software engineer. Maybe you just don't have any experience in software development and are just reading articles on random websites.
just gonna end this pointless chat here:
Yeah I get it, you're someone who goes along with the narratives from articles that an algorithm selected for you. I guess you just got comfy with going along AI algorithms in your information consumption so you assume others will too.
truth hurts bud? right in the fee fees?
I'm sure after exhausting all attempts at human companionship that your robot girlfriend will comfort you.
