@crunklord420@kiwifarms.cc @bronze@pl.kitsunemimi.club The issue is that the goals and expectations seem to be completely misplaced at the moment. I work in a field where this vividly shows. The idea that AI can replace genuinely good workers is nonsense. AI cannot do the job well for you, but what it can is to do mundane and annoying tasks in an "ok" fashion (as you mentioned, writing complaints, emails, organizing folder, small scripts etc.). It is often the case that people know what they want but, say, do not have the programming skills to see it through - AI can output slop that works very quickly and for non-critical cases that is more than enough. People need to make their workflows not AI-centric, but AI-friendly. This way both normal workers and AI agents benefit. The moment corpos hike up the price, you can disable all AI, but a lot of benefits will stay. People who actually can be replaced by AI did not deserve to have a job in the first place. And in education, if AI scores very high on the exam you prepared, your exam is shit. Simple as.

@crunklord420@kiwifarms.cc @bronze@pl.kitsunemimi.club also the reason soydevs hate AI is because it makes perfectly clear how useless they are. A vast majority of modern software development is not actually developing anything new or worthwhile. It just rehashes the same old things, connects already known tools/algorithms in specific ways that the current task needs. There is not much new, innovative thinking people need to do. And AI can do this well, which clearly harms the soydevs.
