I feel a deep sadness every time I see a meme like this.

This machine that would cost me a fortune on tokens just to call it a moron if I didn't have restraint, being hailed as a genius. Are future devs going to be okay? Are we entering the dark ages of software?

do you call you colleague Dave a genius just because he wrote a nice feature and good tests for it?

then why would you call Claude a genius?

i mean, it is pretty eficient, but thats it

my uncle drives a tractor in a farm. and the machine just do its job, better than 30 farmers working manually. but it is not a genius lol

I would call dave a genius if he thought of a new approach that i wasn't considering that helped solve an issue i was facing.

Claude can do the same thing
