@csstrowbridge@mastodon.social @alicemcalicepants@ohai.social I think it will be really hard to measure the impact. Because there are people who are leaving or have left the tech field because they are being forced to use this "AI" crap and would rather just not deal with it anymore. Or the generation of people who didn't go into computer science because of it. There are going to be so many second-order consequences it'll be almost impossible to know the true extent of the damage for a decade or more.
