The people I work with are really getting into #AI and it scares the shit out of me. I have seen at least three people this week unironically use the term "force multiplier" when talking about coding with AI. They already can't think for themselves and are using the talking points that the producers of this slop provide. I actually tried out GitHub Copilot at one point and found that it slowed me down. Not Windows Copilot, that's the one that's for entertainment purposes only, but the one they actually claim helps developers. I hated it. It wasn't the mistakes, it was that I have a coding style that I have evolved over the past 26 years of doing this and this fucked with that rhythm. I'm not incapable of change, but this is just so so dumb. It feels like I'm trying to work around a very persistent version of Clippy. My company is leaning into this crap, they're spending more money on it, they're investing in it, I'm probably going to have to learn how to work with it and I'm honestly really annoyed about this. Only 15 years until retirement. I feel like I'm living in the music video for "Freaks" by Live right now.
