dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

It's getting one foot in the door though. Humans can deslop the code later on

"one foot in the door" is as useful as an "ideas guy", which is not at all. Producing slop themed around a project provides no value for anyone else who actually wants to work on it. If anything, skilled humans avoid working for free on projects or ideas associated with LLMs.

As you are an engineering student, you should be embarrassed for posting this comment.

I call BS, I've used AI as a coding assistant semi-often and while its output isn't the best, it more than makes up for that in the speed increase. The impressive part of Photocraft is that it was made in under a fucking week.

Yeah, that's why their GitHub has over 270 contributors and 57k stars. I have nothing to be embarrassed about, don't let your hate for AI cloud your judgement.

It's way, way harder to undo bad code than it is to write good code first.

[–] pleiades@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

Not necessarily true in my experience. Using AI as a code assistant ends up being faster and relatively the same difficulty for things that I've worked on, with the exception being niche use cases and libraries.
