"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

The response to that is "it's not readable and it isn't consistent, which is going to turn this into a nightmare when something breaks later and the code needs to be reviewed or revised"
Anyone who has ever had to support code for even a year after it goes live should have some experience dealing with the results of poor earlier choices and leaning on "it works, that means it's good".
Software design, hell even basic scripting, does not end at the minimum viable product, treating it as such is a recipe for future disaster. These sorts of people will lean on "well I'll have the AI fix it", ignoring that they're effectively playing tech debt russian roulette with multiple bullets in the revolver cylinder.
