It was also not considered to be a different route to the same thing, but more like fraud.

Also conceptually I could just write the weights on paper and do the billion multiplications on paper without any computer, does that mean I am the paper or the numbers or what??

It's just that intuition doesn't scale and a lot of common cases can be handled with models, rules, definitions etc. People continue to be confused that just adding more rules eventually solves reality but it never has anywhere for anything so continuing to believe it will is wild

At best solid haters/unaware will "solve" this by mocking everything, which just has a different set of problems and is just as bad. The only way to truly have actual satisfying solution is DI.

That is even with your unwarranted assumption that all energy use is the same and doesn't cause different adaptations. This kind of simplicity is just not happening in biology.

I guess the real price is 5-10x of what you pay. So only 10-20x more expensive for more apples to apples compariaon.

Things that should be tightly coupled but are not is preferable to things that should not be tightly coupled but are.

I agree especially because coupling things is easier than uncoupling things.

Programmers still write code. They have enough expertise from actually programming to understand that the untouched output from AI is not good enough to be professionally responsible for.

OP is just pushing slop, the 80% part anyone gets for free. (well 20 bucks)

Having 80% in a broad amount of subjects is basically worthless, it is the 90% and further that have value because it took luck and actual personal experience and effort to take it that far.

"Everyone else is doing it" but even worse as nobody else is actually even doing it and you just made up that part.

Just commenting on this horrible justification trick in general.

I use AI to generate code very rarely (basically replacing searching code from SO which was also rare) yet maybe 90-95% of my code is machine generated (macros, snippet engines, boilerplate generators, IDE/LSP features etc) if we define as how many characters in the source code out of all characters did I write by my hand.

Before collective AI psychosis nobody cared how much code is hand written and how much machine generated and the difference was absolutely massive between developers. There was also no guaranteed correlation between "productivity" and how much developer hand writes or actually uses their tools well and the same applies with AI usage.
