AI is a tool and the problem world wide is that nearly everyone is using the tool wrong

Maybe if the tool is so finicky that it's practically impossible to get right, it's a bad tool? For sure millions of programmers are just prompting it wrong... Can't be that it's just not as great a tool as the AI overlords claim

As long as the code checkers know and understand what happens, I dont see the problem with the code having been written by a tool

Until the code checkers resort to LLMs because the agentic coders submit so much code for review. I will just let AI run over this one time, what could go wrong? I'll tell AI to generate test cases beforehand to make sure it gets the implementation right. Bad tests never lead to problems right?

Or maybe, just maybe people eating up a constant stream of propaganda produced by those whose whole financial future is tied to AI being the universal solution to every problem (and some they have to create in the first place) are indeed a problem.

Just because 24/7 advertising tells you to hammer in screws doesn't mean it's the smart thing to do. And neither does it show how useless a hammer is as a tool.
