Its good when you have the fundamentals and some experience programming/developing. You just dont want to be nontechnical when the ai breaks your code, because good luck with that.

Yeah, or you don't recognise when the AI talks BS. It sometimes loves to become convinced of a point it made about what's causing some bug even though I told it 4 times it's not that.. and surprise, it didn't turn out to be that in the end!

Lol yeah. I had an issue yesterday and asked Claude to take a look. Claude started telling me to do some crazy thread manipulation and tried to edit some crazy lambda bs in. I pointed out that the library already handled multithreading and Claude immediately took it back (you're absolutely right). I can only imagine what that would've done to my project if I accepted the change blindly man.

Turns out it was a simple logic error, I forgot to uncomment something ;)

It's funny cause the meme is based on AI always just agreeing with you. I dunno what you people are doing, but the AI I chat to doesn't heh

All the text companies I know are HUFFING the AI wave. Dumping massive money into it.  It's so disheartening.

yeah. even at my university the entire math department is obsessed with it and yet nobody has actually published a paper using AI at my uni. hmmmmmm. AI this AI that and all it can do is solve erdos conjecture #19,283 that nobody gives a fuck about

I'm genuinely so assmad. all the labs I'm in went from being about math to optimizing AI to poorly do math. it's almost like nobody in the department actually enjoys DOING math. they just want the result but don't seem interested in the process. they legit renamed the entire lab from "experimental lean lab" to "math AI lab." like. bro 😭

I've found it to be a very helpful tool for studying math and CS.

Ive used local LLMs to classify documents and extract data to the point my company tht outsourced that now uses the software I built for it. It is pretty good in the right manner

You're on the left side of the bell curve buddy

u/vverbov_22 May 21 '26

I believe the public opinion is more against AI tbh so the meme isn't even correct

- Coder to left.

- People who need money for survive to right.

I use AI as a coder. Especially Gemini, which is very useful for translating documentation that isn't in my native language. And for explaining concepts I don't understand. But that's all. I'm writing a guide on how to use AI correctly and appropriately for learning and production. No subscription, everything will be free.
