Is AI making our code stupid?

AI is good. I understand what it generates. I can work with it. It saves me time, and thus, it saves my employer money.

I really am starting to not miss coding these days... I think I will go back to PLCs if it continues like this. :sigh:
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

You may become the PLC! :laugh:

I've just in the last couple of hours been working on the beginning stages of converting a home C# project to Rust with the help of Codeium in VS and VS Code. It's been very helpful so far, but you get the best out of it by being interactive and its best if you already have sufficient knowledge of the language. No idea about GitHub Copilot but Codeium has been impressive so far. I've used it mostly with Rust and I've also learnt from it. But as with all this stuff you still need to keep your brain engaged!

AI doesn't nag or ask you questions. It answers queries. So AI isn't. It is a query language, but it does not think. My brain is disengaged already, as I am tired of the hype. Programming is about quantity. More dumb people make more software. It is a money game, as is everything :thumbsup:

Well, I've personally found it pretty useful so far - I mean in general, not just in coding. I've been dabbling with it for months now but, while it's impressive, it's also still surprisingly dumb in certain seemingly simple scenarios. Therefore, I don't see AGI arising anytime soon, despite people's fears. So that is certainly hyped.
