Illogical.

I had Claude read a 2k LOC module on my codebase for a bug that was annoying me for a while. It found it in seconds, a one line fix. I had forgotten to account for translation in one single line.

That's objectively valuable. People who argue it has no value or that it only helps normies who can't code or that sooner or later it will backfire are burying their heads in the sand.

Dismissive. Also kind of rude.

I don’t think this describes most people and it’s certainly not what I think.

This feels like a strawman. Most criticisms of AI for coding are about how overblown the claimed benefits are, not that there are no benefits.

While that may very well be true, it's a valid reply to the GP who made this claim, not to my comment explaining to the parent why their argument was logically flawed.

[Forgeties79]

Just because you disagree with me doesn’t mean my argument is “logically flawed.” And as the other commenter said, I never said AI had no value. I have used various AI tools for probably 4 years now.

If you’re going to talk to and about people in such a condescending way then you at least ask clarifying questions before jumping to the starkest, least charitable interpretation of their point.

Except that the GP didn't claim that AI had no value?
