...kids are smart and very good at finding workarounds
...may be cool and fun, but since they require no effort to create, they have no monetary value
People with no talent are welcome to have fun with the tech, but it will result in a tsunami of slop
Real artists will continue making real art
..for creating crappy software are so low
Real progress is being made, but current tools do not create excellent software
I suspect that future tools will, but early adopters of immature tools will discover the depths of software hell
Some investors are gamblers and fortune tellers, trying to predict an increasingly unpredictable future. They bet on long shots, knowing that most will fail. In some cases, they bet on really, really stupid ideas. This is unfortunately and really wasteful, but it seems to be the way that some think. It reminds me of poor people playing the lottery
Broadly speaking, there are two kinds of students, those who love to learn and slackers who hate school. Slackers have been cheating for years and slouching through school, putting in minimum effort. The only difference now is that have better cheating tools.
Those who love to learn will use the new tools to help them learn faster and better. By using AI, they are practicing the skills that will be useful in the future.
Education needs major reform that takes advantage of the new tools to better help those who want to learn. Sadly, the slackers will probably fall further behind
...in the olympics of AI misuse
Trying to make life even more miserable for their employees
...the new Spinal Tap movie where the record company guy is physically unable to enjoy music
"putting someone who doesn't like movies in charge of a major motion picture studio"
...when testing immature tech, do it in an isolated test system, far from anything critical, and monitor it closely
The key word is "could"
It can't do it today
It's possible to imagine that future versions might
Old COBOL code is well tested and mission critical. It's also a mess of patches and spaghetti
Accurately extracting the logic and the way it handles edge cases is nontrivial
Vibe coded slop is not a valid substitute
Robot vacuums do NOT need to communicate with a cloud server
The cloud is a trap
Run away
"Is the software I'm making for myself on my phone as good as handcrafted, bespoke code? No. But it's immediate and cheap"
Today's AI is just making software worse
I am hoping for future AI that can help experts make excellent, efficient, bug-free software
What we have today is just more slop
Encouraging addiction to support an evil religious cult
"its product roadmap is dictated by whatever the research labs happen to discover rather than by deliberate product strategy"
This is the way leading edge research is done
You can't have a "deliberate product strategy" when inventing totally new stuff
..difficult, regardless of how powerful the tools are
AI tools turn a specification into code
Writing a complex specification is hard, really hard
Reminds me of the old "waterfall" approach to software design
