Study shock! AI hinders productivity and makes working worse

When AI is programmed by libtards it’s lazy and wants something for nothing

Once you get into the zone, Agile actually helps a lot.

Actually, my genuine take on AI is that, if leveraged correctly, it does save a good deal of time. It produces (smaller) code snippets that conform to your needs.

I’ve gone from being worried about it — that it would take developer jobs — to realizing that it is unlikely to ever really be ‘intelligent’. There are certain biological imperatives ‘coded’ into us via millions of years of evolution that AI cannot get access to, and those imperatives consist of initiative, self-preservation, and others.

[P.O.E.]

Obey the algorithm, mere mortals!

Furthermore, to implement a system the size of the one I work on daily, there are two obstacles that would make AI nearly useless:

1) To spec a system of the size I work on, it would take a written narrative the size of the novel “War and Peace”.

2)) You still would need a skilled developer to ‘proof’ the code.

Mix AI and its weak conversational skills with workers with the same failing and watch how quick you get responses vaguely reminiscent of the Swedish Chef from The Muppet Show but not nearly as entertaining.

This was awesome.
