@Possiblydrew "technically" doing a heavy lift here

@Possiblydrew Bro technology is just making everybody stupider myself included to be fair

@Possiblydrew Have you actually tried the current Coding assist AIs? Because if you had, you would be surprised they are not "random word generators" but actually very useful. You can try https://antigravity.google for free on your own code on your own machine (Linux is fine) and ask it to do your own choice of tasks. If you want to come back and tell me you found rand() in an overcoat, well, OK. But I think you will be very surprised.

@Possiblydrew technically.... Not socially competent?

@Possiblydrew Do it the old way, use a search engine to open an AI generated SEO optimized sloppage instead!

@Possiblydrew People I had known to be very clever have fallen to these. I have a pet hypothesis that there's a factor unrelated to general intelligence that makes some people more susceptible to these than others, like gambling addictions.

@Possiblydrew stupidity and competency are technically different :D

@Possiblydrew Engineers never had a good grasp on what technology actually did: they're mostly formula followers

@Possiblydrew Ok, but also there's this: https://www.harvey.ai/ but I don't think they license to individuals

@Possiblydrew indoctrinating engineers and engineering types with goofy shit is like shooting fish in a barrel. on average they think they're smarter than they are, at least in part because so much education and work culture rewards rationalizing and sounding confident over anything else

@Possiblydrew@pnw.zone It isn't even random, it is just pseudo-random, right?

@Possiblydrew and not just legal… PROFESSIONAL! Engineers get courses, are tested and trained that **They are certifying that XYZ is proper**. Codebases from the 1970s get wrapped in other code but not altered because They have a body of past work. Infrastructure doesn’t collapse expressly because we build this way. … this shit hurts my soul.

@Possiblydrew 🫠 You'd think it wouldn't be that hard...

@Possiblydrew Grand Theft Autocorrect Dunning-Kruger accelerators are not the place for legal advice 😕🤷♂️

@Possiblydrew Okay but like, I want to get out of this $250m payout that I promised, and real lawyers keep saying I can't, but ChatGPT is telling me that I can and even gives me detailed steps, so obviously it's better than lawyers.

@Possiblydrew Most competent engineers stop taking advice from the engineering gambling machine, right before they strike it big!

@thirstybear@agilodon.social 2026-04-14 19:18
@Possiblydrew @neil You aren’t the only one. Same with pointing out to same competent engineers who really should know better that the code it churns out is 💩 It’s mass hallucination.

@Possiblydrew doing some tech training at work today, and it's all "how to convince an AI to do this for you" like I'd trust the random text generator to write access controls I just wanted to use up time & appear engaged with the company, but I'm being exposed to dumb radiation
