Huge time saver. I've had GPT doing a lot of work for me and it makes stuff like managing my Arch install smooth and easy. I don't use OpenAI stuff much though. Gemini has gotten way better, Claude 3.5 Sonnet is beastly at code stuff. I guess if you're writing extremely complex production stuff it's not going to be able to do that, but try asking most people even what an unsigned integer is. Most people will be like "what?"

Why is that relevant? Are you saying that AI makes coding more accessible? I mean that’s great, but it’s like a calculator. Sure it helps people who need simple calculations in the short term, but it might actually discourage software literacy.

I wish AI could just be a niche tool, instead it’s like a simple calculator being sold as a smartphone.
