It’s constantly proving to be a massive disappointment, at least in the hands of capitalists.
You haven't used Cursor yet, have you?
Never used that one but I use Copilot daily and have tried similar. Copilot has gotten considerably worse since I started using it (I think because they mixed in ChatGPT results), so I rely on it very little.
These tools make people too dependent upon them, similar to how a lot of us can no longer navigate without map software. It feels like I’m slowly building my own coffin the more I use AI to write my code.
Aside from that, when you start to dig into the energy and water consumption required to run these things, it’s kind of insane.
Yeah but that's only because business people usually have zero knowledge of science or technology in any way. They know as much about what AI actually does as your grandma. It's going to take years before AI is ready to start really replacing workers in anything. But that doesn't stop the hype train from trying to convince everyone its right around the corner.
But the point is that it shouldn’t replace people. I’ve been a programmer for 20+ years and there’s nothing that will make me want to work with tools I know can eventually replace me or someone else. Aside from that, the energy usage is getting batshit insane while we’re all in the midst of a climate crisis.
