If you're a coder and you look up to me in any way as a programmer, please know that I cannot respect and in fact have a very poor opinion of people who voluntarily use any kind of cloud based LLM for coding with any kind of regularity

I say this because

1. I know some people do look up to me in that way

And

2. It is imo very important to create a culture of shame around the use of AI

AI is dogshit. And the more contact people have with AI, the more they'll realize it's dogshit and turn against it as tacky. The only reason anyone's doing any of it is because billionaires and multinationals are telling them "AI is the future!" and cramming it into everything

Even with all this they still can't get *most* people to give it more than a passing glance. Because people can instinctively recognize that it's dogshit, that it's useless insipid vapid bullshit with no intrinsic value

@eniko I've noticed that "AI" has a much better reputation in software development circles than virtually anywhere else working-class, and I wonder if it's just because software developers believe that it'll lift them to the top of the hierarchy

@joepie91 @eniko I feel this is a continuation of the software mindset that we are somehow special and not subject to being treated like any other workers under capitalism.
