The problem is that most of the people that are using it are not using it correctly and are not using it in a manner that they are just simply trying to find something to correct it. They're literally using it to write the code and they're barely scanning it afterwards. Therefore it's creating a mishmash spaghetti bullshit that nobody wants.
Do we think when the hammer was invented people only used it correctly? If 99 people out of 100 used it incorrectly would that make it a bad tool? I don't think so. How people use it in general doesn't have anything to do with the usefulness of the tool when used correctly.
That is a super idiotic statement there. The amount of people not using a hammer correctly compared to the amount of people not using AI correctly is nowhere near any sort of even percentage correct. Like I am flabbergasted you would even try to make that sort of comparison.
How people use a tool in general doesn’t have anything to do with the usefulness of the tool when used correctly.
.. How would you even use a hammer incorrectly lol
