There are papers that are pro and con. It’s a new tech - we’re still figuring out how to use it. It’s gotten a lot better than a year or two ago though.
It’s definitely helped me get things done a lot faster. You can point to “that one study everyone does” and tell me “no it’s not” but honestly, it is.
I’ll give you an example - I had to write a small bash script to fix home directory ownership on a server because somebody borked it and some critical jobs weren’t launching properly. Just something to read /etc/passwd, parse out the owner and home dir and
chown-R $user $home. Dozens of user dirs so quicker to just script it.Time was of the essence. Claude had a script in ~6 seconds. Yeah - I could have written it - but not that fast. I validated the output and gave it a run. All’s good.
You can insult me as “not good developer” or whatever you need to do to make yourself feel better - your opinion of me is irrelevant. But these tools are pretty damn good at what they do if you use them properly. “Properly” being the key word here. They are tools not employees so you need the proper critical thinking to apply them effectively.
proceeds to not mention or link any paper that is pro.
If you’re interested you can search, since you haven’t I assume you’re not.
You are the first I’ve heard of this, burden of proof is on you. Claiming there is proof then refusing to provide it, saying others should look it up is actually so common on Lemmy that it’s an instant indication that someone is lying out of their ass.
It’s funny how everyone that tries to defend the use of AI, other than deny the fact that most evidence (and common sense/basic understanding of AIs) points to the idea that it’s just negative, always avoid the subject of environment.
Even if you assumed that you get the same result with Claude or whatever in 6 seconds, and with your brain in five minutes… Is the end of humanity and a massive extinction event worth those 5 minutes?
Defending AI while there are literally news popping out right now about heat waves being more violent than ever recorded and killing thousands of people per day in countries that had no problems with heat a few decades ago, is extremely selfish and self-centered. And the only justification is “it’s a bit faster and easier”. Okay.
All of this, and the facts that the entire thing was trained on stolen material, and the companies behind it are all run by bat shit crazy shitheads.
Everyone loves to shit on US tech companies, hates Windows and MS, and Amazon, Google, Apple, and Meta (all rightfully so), but is absolutely willing to overlook the AI companies that are arguably doing more harm than those others combined (or are tightly invested / integrated with them, or are them) just so they don’t have to spend a few minutes typing, or thinking about how something works.
It wasn’t even brought up twerp.
Ah so I guess you can’t read. Might explain the need to defend AI.
Easy block.
Yeah this is the type of constrained use case I use it for too. Same with unit tests and testing in general.
