"I will not touch anything with ai-generated code" is going to mean, in pretty short order, "I will not touch software" this is just functionally what software development is now and it's only going to accelerate from here

I think it’s important for anyone who (completely understandably) checked out on AI the second the crypto/nft/metaverse/snake oil chuds started pushing it to realize that, in at least the domain of software development, we are very much living in a scenario where the snake oil actually works

there's an enormous amount of poorly vibe-coded slop out there and unfortunately that is also going to accelerate but minus some individual passion projects almost nothing is written entirely by hand these days

yeah, I think this is a good place to draw the line - replacing human artists with the machine is bad but the ship has one hundred percent sailed on the code side

I guess I can't avoid the code. But I can certainly choose to avoid paying money for image gen assets, voice, images etc.

I think we're going to need to keep evaluating What It All Means and What We Demand as more and more ppl come in to the industry without ever learning to do things by hand and thus understanding AI's output. Best case is it's like car mechanics, where fewer ppl need to actually know how a car works.
