And there is a last reason, which is less rigorous but matters to us just as much. We write software because we enjoy writing software [...] We are not interested in optimizing away the reason we do this.

Holy fucking shit. I read the whole thing and I even enjoyed reading it. This has to be the most sane shit I’ve read all month. This is THE definition of “how to use a tool”. I freaking love it.

It was kinda long so i just used ai to summarize it ~/j~

but seriously, wow, it is exactly what I've been thinking would be the perfect policy, they really nailed it.

Definitely agree on that part, if only the tools themselves weren't so unethically created and a continual heavy drain on so many aspects of society I might consider using them for small, tedious tasks outside of work where I'm forced to.

Also, they don't do much to aid my work and actively slow me down quite often since I don't think in words, so I have to translate my logic into a conversational essay for the AI to understand and then debug code someone else wrote. It's so much faster for me to translate my logic into programming languages directly which follow logic, not conversational norms. I see how it's useful for people who can't think in logical steps, though.

Yeah it's quite disappointing how often that part is conveniently ignored in

The AI corporations are hiring Lemmy snipers now?

Those 4 points for AI code writing are extremely well thought out. I can really respect that.

That reads much too sane for today's ~~idiot mud fight~~ discussions about AI.
