I've never been scared for AI, I've been scared of the idiots who THINK it's smart (smarter than them at least) and want to push ot to their employees and customers. My employer has been pushing more and more automation using AI for development that if it can make sense of the codebase our customers have, then I will happily retire and let it take the madness that is their codebases.

I believe in it as a work accelerator, as it helps me think through problems in areas I know well and can sort it's bullshit out. Editing is faster than writing, and I frequently make typos in content I draft from scratch. ChatGPT has been a godsend for me professionally.

I don't understand why people say "this" instead of upvoting.

upvote but with words. also gives validation and opens up to conversation. some people value written testimony more than the upvote.
