I'm also annoyed by how "in the face" it has been, but that's just how marketing teams have used it as the hype train took off. I sure do hope it wanes, because I'm just as sick of the "ASI" psychos. It's just a tool. A novel one, but a tool nonetheless.

What do you mean "black box"? If you mean [INSERT CLOUD LLM PROVIDER HERE] then yes. So don't feed sensitive data into it then. It shouldn't be in your codebase anyway.

Or run your own LLMs

Or run a proxy to sanitize the data locally on its way to a cloud provider

There are options, but it's really cutting edge so I don't blame most orgs for not having the appetite. The industry and surrounding markets need to mature still, but it's starting.

Models are getting smaller and more intelligent, capable of running on consumer CPUs in some cases. They aren't genius chat bots the marketing dept wants to sell you. It won't mop your floors or take your kid to soccer practice, but applications can be built on top of them to produce impressive results. And we're still so so early in this new tech. It exploded out of nowhere but the climb has been slow since then and AI companies are starting to shift to using the tool within new products instead of just dumping the tool into a chat.

I'm not saying jump in with both feet, but don't bury your head in the sand. So many people are very reactionary against AI without bothering to be curious. I'm not saying it'll be existential, but it's not going away, I'm going to make sure me and my family are prepared for it, which means keeping myself informed and keeping my skillset relevant.

The fact that you think these are even comparable shows how little you know about AI. This is the problem, your bias prevents you from keeping up to date in a field that's moving fast af.

It's all the same... Not sure why you'd have differing opinions between AI for code and AI for art, but please lmk, I'm curious.

Lmao the brain drain is real. Learning too much is now a bad thing

It's already here dude. I'm using AI in my job (supplied by my employer) daily and it make me more efficient. You're just grasping for straws to meet your preconceived ideas.

Just because I don't have a personal interest in AI art doesn't mean I can't have opinions.

This is a myth pushed by the anti-ai crowd. I'm just as invested in my work as ever but I'm now far more efficient. In the professional world we have code reviews and unit tests to avoid mistakes, either from jr devs or hallucinating ai.

"Vibe coding" (which most people here seem to think is the only way) professionally is moronic for anything other than a quick proof of concept. It just doesn't work.

The concept that a snippet of code could be criminal is asinine. Hardly enforceable nevermind the 1st amendment issues.

Not filing is still free.
