Every time I try to use AI for coding I just get endlessly frustrated and angry. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 child) The code LLMs spit is IME super buggy and gives as much work to correct it as it would have cost writing it from scratch.. but it generally does the job. The addictive part is where you click a button and avoid thinking how to code. This is my experience, but im an amateur and actually enjoy programming things.... so, i piss on LLMs taking that from me. EDIT: i know two persons that actively use LLMs, one does it to avoid having to ibteract with someone that actually knows how to code, the other learned to code to make money, so he really does not care that much. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] themachinestops@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 months ago Don't forget that when you use LLMs you are helping these types of people: https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/claude-dario-amodei-wife-anthropic-e1eeda7d Cami Clark—who started what she called a ‘revolutionary porn company’ where she sought investment from Jeffrey Epstein—keeps a low profile but is a key adviser to the AI chief.
