Sadly being smarter doesn't stop you being ignorant.

Point of order, if you mean pirate as in infringe copyright, that isn't stealing.

Not to downplay your situation, but isn't autism entirely about the symptoms when it comes to diagnosis? If you meet the diagnostic criteria then you are autistic regardless of the underlying mechanism? There is also no guarantee that dealing with the tumor would fully restore your brain to the way it was before.

Sure, but you didn't have other coders asking the half baked ones to write a bunch of code for them, nor were the half baked ones prolific enough to shove their products out of the door before experienced devs shipped a better coded versions.

There is a significant difference between AI assisted and AI produced from what I've seen and experienced so far.

Assisted takes generated code and uses it to inform the code actually written, letting it fulfill a boiler plate function or the place of a junior coder at worst.

Then there are those project committing the AI produced code largely unreviewed and unchanged.

Former is mostly fine but needs an experienced coder who trained writing code unassisted (where are new coders of that caliber going to come from now?), the latter is a morasse of slop.

They never state who it's more efficient and cost effective for, so I'm sure it's true... from a certain point of view.

Hopefully be a massive teachable moment to humanity?

We can only dream I guess.

So the fact you didn't pay kind of leads I to where I was going, that model isn't sustainable for AI, would you subscribe to get access to that information? How much would you pay? Because that is what those pushing AI want to happen, they want yo be the gatekeeper and you have to pay the toll to access information.

As for the usefulness of AI for technical questions. Well I'm the other side of the learning curve from you, I need detailed answers to complicated technical questions and AI fails to provide a correct answer 9 times out of 10 and worse is misleading in its answers with basic mistakes or out of date information which would trip up inexperienced users or lead them into bad practices.

It's only useful in giving me a direction to start, I still have to go to the likes of stack exchange and read and understand the primary sources it was trained on to get a useful answer and understanding. In general it saves me very little time and isn't that helpful.

Did you pay for the AI service you used to do that and if it hadn't been available would you have just started reading the online resources the AI trained on and got to the same place eventually?

I'd argue that it's self managed but not self hosted, it's still running on somone elses computer and they ultimately control what you can and cant do with it. The distinction is murky though because a lot of the discussion here is about managing services rather than the hosting infrastructure (though of course there is some of that too).

Torrent clients can cope behind NAT but can only upload/download from other peers that have a port open so they are more limited in the pool of peers they can make use of.
