@glyph @aredridel @ceejbot given the choice of being out competed by someone using AI and losing all your customers data because you used AI the choice if obvious. There are provably no consequences for the latter. You can calculate exactly how much a year of free credit monitoring for all your users will cost.

@glyph @dreid @aredridel At some companies there's huge pressure from fairly ignorant/credulous leadership -- or worse, leadership with a financial incentive to promote use of tech that doesn't really work-- to pump out lines of code with these things. This has predictable outcomes. Microsoft/GitHub has a history of doing this, but this time the bad tech speeds up the bad code production instead of getting in the way and slowing people down. I don't know how to express online with its context collapse problem exactly how mixed my opinion is about all this. Writing software is changed forever AND using these tools has a real place in your workflow if you learn how AND it's a horrible mess because capitalism has its usual incentives.

@glyph @dreid @ceejbot Same with a caveat: everyone is staring at 'supply chain risk' and thinking 'nope nope nope don't want to touch that'
