In addition to making people stupid, I wonder what affect will LLMs like Claude will have on programmers? How will new programmers learn if companies start using Claude?

So really, it's a choice to become stupider that's the problem not that a tool exists that could potentially make us stupider.

Perhaps we should look at the root cause as to why we choose to take these shortcuts instead of putting all blame on the idea of AI?

    Except we're not choosing this, it has already been chosen for us by a handful of billionaires who stand to make more money

    So billionaires forced MediumSizedSnack to ask Siri a simple math question?

    I'm not talking about the forced utilization of techbro wankery, I'm talking about people actually using that wankery on their own. "AI" just existing doesn't magically make people stupid, they have to use it.
