@DazeEnd overall probably a better decision, but it is a fundamentally ridiculous place if you ever get a chance

Amen, @dimsumthinking:
“If you go to the gym and ask AI to do a set of bicep curls, the weights are being lifted but they aren't being lifted by you. Your biceps aren't benefiting.
If your goal is to move the weights then AI is fine. If your goal is to build your biceps and the weights are the mechanism for doing so, then passing that work off to AI isn't accomplishing your goal.”

@agiletortoise@mastodon.social yeah making this transition was a huge pain in the ass on the journaling app I used to work on. I wound up adding comically extensive testing of a bunch of edge cases.
