@bodil Indeed. Its good programmers are not susceptible to hubris. Otherwise, they'd probably react to a concept like AI by claiming that programming is a form of art that can never be managed by AI, that AI is crap and anything produced by it must also be crap - proven by the fact that AI uses the crap from crappy websites where crappy - eh - programmers have posted it, and they'd utterly fail to make any distinction as to where AI can be a useful tool and what should better be done manually. First and foremost, they'd scream defiance about the code quality of AI itself, amusingly ignoring the fact that this code has very obviously been written by programmers. But they'd be AI programmers, and therefore obviously worthless bastards. My, am I happy that programmers are so absolutely immune to hubris.

    @papageier @bodil I am not a computer programmer if I can help it, but I find the following line of argument very interesting : The generative LLM is a machine for producing the "most probable message", which according to information theory is the message we should discard. https://man-and-atom.tumblr.com/post/812029038295187456/now-this-might-be-considered-a-theological
