@maxpool@mathstodon.xyz I sure hope our beloved industry survive this wave of self-destruction, mate. The fundamental difference I observe, at least in my small corner of the world, is that modern AI seems to be eroding the professionalism of the very practitioners of AI. This wasn’t the case with prior technological hypes, from FRP and micro services, back through time, to FORTRAN and ENIAC. In some ways, AI appears to be validating and encouraging unprofessionalism, the same way today’s political discourse on social media is validating and compounding ignorance. @dougmerritt@mathstodon.xyz @robpike@hachyderm.io

@maxpool@mathstodon.xyz @dougmerritt@mathstodon.xyz @robpike@hachyderm.io I don't feel like the world completely survived XML. It's just become endemic and most people are in denial about taking precautions to limit infections.

@maxpool@mathstodon.xyz @dougmerritt@mathstodon.xyz @robpike@hachyderm.io "AI" is not just the wrong tool. It's eroding the very fabric of society, and especially the fabric of our industry. See also: https://www.stvn.sh/writing/programming-still-sucks-fqffhyp
