@dang - HN tearing itself apart over use of AI isn't conducive to a strong cohesive community. Nobody here is at fault, we're in very trying times - we need to adjust with patience and consideration. Use of AI to launch rapid prototypes is like breadboarding a new product. It has a place but it's moving so fast that it's hard to lock down at the moment. No point everyone throwing excess cortisol in this direction. <3
If it wasn't clear, I think we're (as a society) destroying ourselves by believing in all this generative AI crap, even contrary to the evidence of how wrong it often is, the hallucinations, the awful quality etc.
I think we're witnessing the death of intellect: when you discard the evidence in favor of something that only looks right but is nonsense, there's no telling where it will end. If your profession requires you to think and produce output accordingly, but suddenly nobody thinks wrong answers matter, then your profession no longer exists.
Standing up against it and refusing to accept any form of AI anywhere is the only reasonable thing to do. And I don't know if it will make a difference.
