busterarm | on: Using AI to write better code more slowly
nullsanity's comment is dead and downvoted to oblivion but also incredibly underrated.

I was more annoyed than anything that I didn't hit this moment until my 40s.

Except it's not just reddit (I quit reddit 15 years ago). It's the whole internet.

What you guys don't understand is that you don't argue with people or robots to teach them. You argue to teach yourself. Until you get out of that mindset, indeed a lot of conversation will seem useless, be it people or robots.

Oh. I am aware. It is not that deep. But who you argues with still matter. There was a point where I have abandoned Reddit and HN. I came back to HN because people here also seem to have grown up. Reddit stays mostly the same.

I credit the moderation here for that, I mean allowing people to grow out of the echo chamber.

It does to an extent. One thing I will give AI, because of the nature of LLMs, you are essentially arguing with the median level of the input that trained the model. So, for someone new to the subject, you get access to patterns that will bring them up to a certain level.

Getting past that is problem we face now.

That may well need more than the models, somehow put it better than me: these LLMs have no taste - nor can they as thins are.

Yes, I thought the same as well because that was the same line of thought that made me write my comment.

Yea, they are like a slingshot. You need to let go at some point or else it will drag you back.
