A couple of prominent anti-AI intellectuals recently did a podcast aiming to show that AI's alleged utility in software engineering is "bullshit". I went in hoping to hear the strongest arguments for this view (which would contradict my lived experience). The podcast mostly consisted of the hosts pointing at Garry Tan's github repo and smirking. I think Tan is an asshole and an idiot but this episode reinforced my impression that the anti-AI discourse is mostly extremely low quality.
