That reminds me of the guy who was declared dead by Google and then miraculously wrote a blog post mentioning that rumors of his death were premature. Google (and others) really should be held liable for the fake news they're spreading.

None of my tools use AI in any way, shape or form. And building them didn't make use of AI either.

AI is so much like a religion. There is nothing you can say to a believer that will make them question their believes. Or more generally, you cannot reason anyone out of something that they want to believe.

That, and it will be as secure, reliable and snappy as GitHub!

Also, coming from Microslop, the path to ever deeper enshittification is a foregone conclusion. It will be the first "Linux" with ads!

Will AI corporations fob off their AI users with chat bots and ignore them like the megacorps do with their human users today?

On the other hand, it will finally not matter any more if AI-generated software is crap, because its bot users have infinite patience and infinite tolerance. Only the people who pay the electricity bill for all that waste will care but that's the price for survival in a world where only bots count.

I take issue with calling it a dysfunction when the symptoms are a completely natural and appropriate response to an irritation. To me, it has a whiff of blaming the victim.

The usual sickness. If you don’t train people to become specialists and just expect them to fall from the sky, it’s only a question of time until you run out of specialists.
