The fact you see nothing wrong with anything you said really speaks volumes to the inhumanity inherent with using "AI".
Please enlighten me. I am working on systems solving real-world issues, and now I can ship my solutions faster, with lower costs. Sounds like a win-win for everyone involved except for the offshore employees that have to look for new gigs now
Edit: I would actually rather read a reply than just see you downvoting. The point is, what you call a “glorified text generating machine”, has actual use cases
Looks like others have come along and made my point for me while I slept. Except for calling out the dehumanizing language against the developers. They missed that one.
They weren’t my full time employees but one time gigs. I’ve worked with tons of freelancers over the years, I don’t have any special relationship with them. It’s was just a matter of whoever would offer the lowest price for the gig each time
so.... that made it okay?
Yeah, not seeing how their reasoning justifies anything. "I didn't know them, they're just a number" is exactly my point. That and calling them "third world devs" is Fox News "they took our jobs" style language
