       | Whenever i open HN, there's a pro-A"I" post which makes me almost
       | question if intellectual labor will be useful in a few years.
       | 
       | Yet when i try to use these tools, they fall short. They can
       | probably be useful for generating half broken prototypes quickly
       | because speed is more important that quality. But for real code,
       | especially long term, they just never seem to end up breaking
       | even.
       | 
       | This post somewhat restored my confidence in the world's sanity.
       | There are still people who care about quality and who are willing
       | to call bullshit bullshit.
       | 
       | EDIT: The most important part is that he links to tons of
       | examples from other people. There's clearly a sizeable group of
       | people who are not being heard often enough.

       | I'm baffled by this.
       | 
       | What business have projects mandating the tool I use for my
       | contributions? I'm responsible of the quality of what I send and
       | should be the sole arbiter of if I want to clean generated code
       | or not. This person is basically calling all their potential
       | contributors too stupid to reasonably use some class of tools.
       | That's downright insulting.
       | 
       | I have lost all the good will I had for Servo.

         | 
         | ...so I don't believe it's fair to say that you lost all the
         | good will you had for Servo based on just this article.

       | How can they tell if you submit a patch that you produced with
       | the help of AI though? They mentioned they found a bug in an AI-
       | assisted patch. But an actual skilled programmer can easily
       | produce code with the help of AI that doesn't have any bugs in
       | it.
