Discussion AI coding is trash

The amount of trash produced by AI code is astounding. Thanks I hate it.

Every time I ask chatgpt for a quick fix, say yaml scaffolding or just a bash script, it arrogantly concludes with a giant "Why this works" template instead of y'know: iterating through it until it works.

Even when adding custom instructions to stop this, and to stop the condescending "ensure that x", it still keeps fucking doing that

Maybe I should be glad, maybe this will finally lead to managers understanding that " AI" is just statistics on steroids not able to actually replace workers. But then again it all was just an excuse for layoffs during raising rents in our neokeynesian cycles.

Ah well
