please, for all if our sakes, don’t use chatgpt to learn. it’s subtly wrong in ways that require subject-matter experience to pick apart and it will contradict itself in ways that sound authoritative, as if they’re rooted in deeper understanding, but they’re extremely not. using LLMs to learn is one of the worst ways to use it. if you want to use it to automate repetitive tasks and you already know enough to supervise it, go for it.
honestly, if I hated myself, I’d go into consulting in about 5ish years when the burden of maintaining poorly written AI code overwhelms a bunch of shitty companies whose greed overcame their senses - such consultants are the only people who will come out ahead in the current AI boom.
Never said they wouldn’t. But you’re saying the ONLY people benefitting from the ai boom are the people cleaning up the mess and that’s just not true at all.
Some people will make a mess
Some people will make good code at a faster pace than before
those people don’t benefit. they’re paid a wage - they don’t receive the gross value of their labor. the capitalists pocket that surplus value. the people who “benefit” by being able to deliver code faster would benefit more from more reasonable work schedules and receiving the whole of the value they produce.

It’s absurd you don’t think there are professionals harnessing ai to write code faster, that is reviewed and verified.
it’s absurd that you think these lines won’t be crossed in the name of profit

I don’t know if you know this but I can play neopets and chill once my ticket is written and passes tests. So now I work less hours a week
Also my personal project is developing faster.
I mean if you can get away with that, great. most people can’t and it’s just a tool to get more work out of them.
