The problem is search has become such a shit show that AI is better at looking stuff up. But it is still problematic.
Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash

Im.not against the usage of AI in general. The problem only comes up if the human literally relies on it, but if you are using it for learning, quickly scrolling documentation or make code in a critical manner and with years of normal programming experience, that’s fine. Bro had 30 years of development experience so I guess he knows what good code looks like

Even then, it feels dishonest to hide when such a historically unreliable tool is being used.

It is only hidden because too many non-programmers become hysterical whenever AI is mentioned.
In a rational world, it wouldn’t need to be hidden.

This ten times. It’s why the online discourse around AI is often so one sided. Anyone walking into a room where people are all nodding along to the same shallow, unnuanced statements, and throwing stones at anyone that points that out or tries to share their own contradictory to the group’s experience, even doing so in complete good faith, isn’t going to engage for long. And so that discussion is never going to turn nuanced since all the people interested in that have been ousted.
And it sucks, because there are real harms in AI that must be guarded from for which we need widespread support. But the hostility and closed minded discussions just causes people to tune out and contrarily be more open minded towards AI as a response to the closed mindedness.

It is unreliable if unsupervised of course. Microsoft and all those big corpos are vibecoding the whole thing, that is the reason why AI has gotten a bad reputation in the community despite it being objectively useful. Using AI to code ≠ Vibecoding

Its vibecoding with extra steps.
