    AI is a useful tool, for all its flaws and negative externalities. “If you ignore the negatives for everyone else and just focus on the positives for me, it’s pretty great” Mhmm. Right, ok.

    Don’t forget the negative internalities (it makes it’s users dumber and the codebase less maintainable). But yes it is useful, and the knee jerk hate comes mostly as a reaction to the marketing lies told by the companies selling it.

  • If the developer reviews and understands the code and what he is doing, AI is just a tool. I trust Linus and GrapheneOS to be able/capable of this. People are just tired of AI being shoved everywhere, steal jobs, etc. I completely understand but, there are cases where it is useful
