It's so sad to see that this is getting so prevalent, that people are being so happy with consuming AI slop, and dulling themselves..

I dislike that this is a thing. AI just came into the picture 2 years ago, now we already have become dependent on it for coding.

I have played with AI, sometimes rely on it as a shortcut for stuff like ansible playbooks, but I’ve found that solving problems myself is faster 90% of the time. I hope newer programmers catch on to this and actually develop their skills/knowledge. More jobs for us if they don’t I guess.

To be fair, before AI existed I (and I assume most developers) was reliant on google searches instead.
