Lol. Humans are just moving up on the stack. I'm sure some people were upset about how we wouldn't need electrical engineers anymore once digital circuits were invented. AI is a tool, without a trained user a tool is almost useless.
Exactly. This feels a bit like the invention of the wheel to me. Suddenly some things are a lot easier than they used to be and I'm sitting here thinking "holy crap half my job is so easy now" while watching other people harp on about all the things it doesn't help with. Sure - they're right, but who cares about that? Look at all the things this tool can do.
I use Claude to write plenty of the code we use, but it comes with the huge caveat that you can't blindly accept what it says. Ever hear newscasters talk about some hacker thing and wonder how they get it so wrong? Same thing with AI code sometimes. If you can code you can tell what it does wrong.
