Do you know why other devs are so cynical with AI?
Deep down it’s simply because we are forced to accept what we don’t “really” want;
We are forced to accept whatever the outputs of AI by AI and its supporters. This stems from the “don’t read code” and overwhelming sheer amount of LOC you can’t review.
It’s not like we are suckers of control, there is always the final version you always see in your head and you want it to come out alive. As a hacker you are always obsessed with even tiny details to see it come true. You can’t turn this off in your brain.
AI and what everyone else encourages others to do doesn’t give you this chance; they tell you to accept whatever is cooked up just because it’s “statistically” the best option from datasets, they don’t want you to even look at what AI has made (who read code now days). As a result you hate it as you can’t get what you “really” want.
But here is the thing:
Most of innovation comes out when you force out what’s in your head; get out every inch of curiosity, everything you think you should try out. You cross check the specs of what you made, if it something doesn’t add up you scratch everything and start all over again. That is how great things are baked. You can’t get that solely with lottery tickets.
So how can you make these devs happy while still using the benefits of AI?
It’s might not be possible 100% but at least:
-AI and harnesses used should be designed in the most efficient way to make hackers happy that they get to build with AI what they truly really want.
