My AI policy is "I don’t want any kind of interaction with that thing." And this should be all you need to know.

Which means that, as soon as generated code is added to a project, the whole project becomes unmaintainable by humans. You can’t understand the code because there’s nothing to understand in the first place!

I don't think that is necessarily true.

I will happily walk away from real-life conversations as soon as it is clear that I’m not talking to a fully sentient Homo sapiens sapiens but to an empty shell who has happily delegated their cognitive abilities to an external proprietary tool designed to be some sort of "random average garbage."

I so wish it was that easy but it's not if they cohabitate with you or they're your relative or significant other or boss or whatever.

I'm about as close to "hermit" as you're ever likely to meet and I'm still assailed every five minutes. (I was literally assailed by LLM BS by my mother while I was typing this message.)
