This is not an Age of AI. Why do so many not-real-programmers think this is an age of AI? It's just a hype.

I am developing my own app 2+ years manually, and not use "AI" at all.

Using AI usually can cause many problems, which the author pointed at.

Programming should be enjoyable, not an annoyed or unhappy thing.

There are still bespoke craftsman in this era of machinery and assembly lines.

You choosing to do something in one specific manner is more the exception that proves the rule then any rebuttal.

Current AI cannot be comparable with "machinery and assembly lines".

Current AI companies stole much data from Internet without permissions, and used the knowledge of many people directly shamelessly.

It cannot resolve many practical problems well, even in programming area.

Do you want the software-assistant to do the important or enjoyable things instead of you? Do you want your assistant in real life to eat the delicious food instead of you?

Yeah it’s gonna be funny looking back in ~5 years. And probably embarrassing for some.

“Age of AI” but most people actively dislike it and hasn’t had a clearly positive impact on the economy after ~4 years.

How do you want to define "clearly positive impact on the economy"? NVDA and a bunch of other stocks are way up. If you got in early, you're sitting pretty. I'd call that positive for those lucky people.

Heh, during the California gold rush most of the people who turned a profit did it by selling supplies and services to the prospectors. Maybe I shouldn't have said economy but rather "society".

How does this mean this isn't an age of AI? Because you're The Representative of Programmers?

> so many not-real-programmers

Oh sorry I missed this part. It seems that you really are!

Please don't cross into personal attack, no matter how right you are or feel you are. All it does is damage the container and make things worse.

Please prove this is an age of AI, could you confirm it?

If a real programmer does use "AI" usually, or use AI to solve all problems about programming, and AI does the all programming tasks, after 1 or 2 years, do you think his/her skills of programming are improving or declining? He/She will lose big part of programming skills very probability. Do you think he/she is a real-programmer then?

[lilerjee]

The force of "AI" companies hype is very strong now, they are everywhere. If you research the articles very carefully, you will feel this force.

The force cannot beat the reality or truth.
