@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioAll other (valid and invalid) arguments aside—the worst thing about "AI for coding" is that no one ever even mentions how this is better for the people who end up using the software produced.
(Spoiler: It isn't.)
No, what it's used for is product managers offloading product design decisions on programmers, because "with AI they can now just churn out features" and "we'll keep what sticks". (The first feature they're forced to churn out is to add useless LLM-based crap to applications. You know the feature: the one that all power-users of the software desperately go to Reddit for in an exercise of futility trying to find out how to permanently turn it off.)
It's a self-feeding feature creep and software bloat moloch—eating programmers and users.
@sean@scoat.esThink about how expensive Uber has become. Now look at this chart (sorry; borrowed it from Reddit; assuming it’s not completely wrong), and draw the simplest conclusion about how much this LLM stuff is going to cost when you’re not getting a handout to subsidize it.
Heck, if a straight line is too hard for you, just ask the LLM.
