I’m working on the front end of a transcription app. It’s a lot of moving buttons and labels around to get them where I want, but there’s no way I would ever be able to do it with a keyboard as fast as using an llm. Are we putting ourselves at a competitive disadvantage to big tech et. al. by being anti ai purists?
If AI-assisted coding becomes the long-term norm, it will probably be accompanied by significantly different programming languages, workflows, and tools (as well as more-capable LLMs). The current batch of AI-generated slop will be regarded as a transitional mess unmaintainable by humans or AIs, and any practices picked up in this phase will have to be un-learned later on.
