    I do computer programming, mostly on stuff the ai coding tools totally fail at; when I saw how much these same tools are pushed by large companies, I felt contempt .

    That, and I studied neural networks in grad school, quite a few years ago. The current AI stuff do not awe me

      I wish I had tools good enough that I didn’t feel the need to use AI, but sadly documentation for AWS and some terraform issues is traaaaaaaaaash, so I mainly use it to generate some use cases and examples that the docs failed to provide. Some of those examples are wrong on further inspection of the docs (return types mispached and so on), but I do the critical thinking of checking the docs before and after and then coding my own stuff.

      I also studied deep convolutional neural networks in school so I know what it is, a tool. Kinda impressive that it is able to do all that solely on the optimisation of the next word in their sentence though.
