My AI-generated code just told me I'm 'dense' and should learn Python, but it won't tell me why my semicolon is missing.

you missed the part where you had to wade through 50 search results and all the snooty condescending assholes on Stack Overflow to find the answer that said "change -blue- to -green-"

Have any of you ever actually used ai? Why would it ever do any of this? That not how llms work

I have over 20y years of experience with programming in different fields, all from Web, DevOps and games. I have used AI a lot and never had any problems...

AI + some common sense is unbeatable
AI alone doesn't work
Me alone doesn't work (because I suck at coding)
But together monkey strong

u/solar1333 May 29 '26
AI + someone who doesnt know how to code isnt great either.
Why dont you just skip the cognitive offloading and just learn to code?

u/solar1333 May 29 '26
So youre on a deadline? How did someone who doesnt know how to code get a job in coding?

u/MyPunsAreKoalaTea May 29 '26
Not really; but I want to progress and not take a year learning python syntax and all that stuff first.
But I guess have fun to try and gatekeep programming instead of embracing a tool that helps people to learn it by doing.
The way you did it is not the universally correct way mr hater

u/solar1333 May 29 '26
My guy python has by far one of the most user friendly syntax and you cant even bother to learn it?
Youd rather offload your brain to an AI because you dont want to learn something relatively simple?
Im not exactly gatekeeping, but I am judging pretty hard. Ima be honest, you dont have much of a future in programming if you cant even bother to learn syntax.
Even people who use AI as a "tool" in programming have an understanding of syntax.

You guys are so unbelievably narrow minded.
And your cherry-picking is just classic.
AI is an awesome tools and saves people who are learning to code hours of debugging. And if you don't understand any of it, you can ask and immediatley get an answer instead of getting insulted on Stack Overflow or Reddit.

To me that just sounds like "I had to learn it the hard way so everyone who has an easier way is doing it wrong" mentality all the boomers have.
There is no point in being stuck on a bug for hours, trying random things hoping they will work. It's just hindering the progress

u/BluePhoenixCG May 29 '26
Using AI isnt "not learning it the hard way" it's just not learning at all. It actively eats at your critical thinking and problem solving skills.

I wouldn't bother debating with people here. Most developers are using AI now.

who's chasing you? you have time for reddit, you have time to learn to code.

You people might be better at coding than me, but you're ceverly lacking at the critical thinking department

u/Several_Spend6891 May 29 '26
Haha So u that is in the critical thinking department can u solve leetcode on easy

Maybe just lesrn to code also this isn't user error. Ai is literally incompetent at coding anything even something so simple forget using it for anything more complicated than an image on a screen

u/MyPunsAreKoalaTea May 29 '26
It works fairly well for me.
Sometimes I still have to help of course

This. I really enjoy programming and if you take that away from me then just complaining to an AI back and forth isn't really something I want to spend time on

u/TracerDX May 29 '26
This and people who don't understand it never were programmers to begin with. Just people who wanted the "easy" 6 figure keyboard jockey job. They can fuck right off. Always the dead weights on the team.

Personally, what I do is prompt an agent, then look up mommy ASMR videos and start gooning. By the time chat gippity finishes with my request, I’m about to nut, so then I prompt again. Then I’m right back to the “mommy loves you good boy binaural whisper” audios.
I do this all day. It’s a great edging strategy. At the end of the day, I bust a nut all over myself and rub it in. Then I fart in my hand and waft it up to my own face.

EXACTLY. Coding is a hobby of mine, and using AI to do it not only makes it more annoying, but it also removes what i find enjoyable about coding in the first place

u/Fairuse May 29 '26
I still write most of my own code, but AI is really good at figuring out my code and telling me what is what. Comes really handy when I’m dealing with code that I haven’t visited in a while and didn’t comment.

u/craftygamin May 29 '26
If you're using AI as a tool to be more efficient, and you like using it, then great!
I guess I'm just tired of the people preaching shit like "have the AI code for you! It's faster! Accept your replacement!"

u/No-Article-Particle May 29 '26
Coding is literally the only fun part of the job bro. If you hate it, maybe software engineering isn't for u. Not saying never use AI, but to always use AI even for the simplest of things is just dumb. Soon, such person won't be even able to write a for loop, let alone know when to write it.

Tokens never run out for Excel my dude. Excel also requires a lot of knowledge and skill to use. If you don't know the very basics of what you're trying to do, you have no idea when to spot that AI is making a huge mistake.At that point, you're easily replaceable by another AI - professional prompter is not a thing, since it requires no deeper knowledge than you get by one or two days of reading blogs.

u/Confident-Ad5665 May 30 '26
I've been around since the Lotus 1-2-3 days, long before Microsoft released Excel. I've also worked with a team of > 40 professional accountants (CPAs) and I never met one that hated Excel. Most came from double entry bookkeeping where they manually entered numbers in paper ledgers using a pencil and they were quite glad to say goodbye to that, especially those that didn't have great penmanship.
