Neither do you, but either way that should not become their students' problem.
People have to do their jobs. Having AI generate slop and then sending it off to students or coworkers is not acceptable. It's not the students' problem to deal with things that may or may not be going on in the administration.
They're paying a lot of money to get an education and the university, as a whole, needs to do their job.
Saying that the teaching staff is under pressure excuses nothing. Students are paying for an education and it needs to be delivered at acceptable quality.
> I love writing code (…). Writing code, however, is daunting, taxing on the mind, takes a lot of mental toll, and you must be in the proper mental space. So if i have a tool, that can take some of that weight off of my mind, so i can focus on the bigger picture, is a good thing.
You clearly don’t love writing code.
> I write code on the train, and in my sleep nowadays
And you don’t write any code. Not in the train, not in your sleep, and probably not in the office either. Having Claude do it for you is not writing code. You wouldn’t claim to be writing code if you had an intern do it while you sleep.
I feel you, and I think we agree, I mean it depends with the intern writing code, because I always ask myself, if this code were illegal who would go to jail to determine ownership, and shucks, I never considered the intern angle :). I don't think I would be culpable there, but i would definitely be at fault if it were authored by ai.
and about my tacit love for software you're right I don't want to write code just for the sake of it, for sure, I want to write code towards a purpose, always with some goal in mind. But I gander, we are all like that, because how much time do we spend planning and deciding before ever putting fingers to the keyboard.
But it does suck sometimes, I'm just trying to find the joy in the new parts, ya know? I want to embrace the new technology, and use it, because the toothpaste is out of the tube, and it can't go back in. Everything else I do or believe stems from that belief.
In my experience it is extremely buggy now. For months the “copy link” feature in tweets didn’t work. The video player is broken half the time, and videos get stuck when you try to rewind them.
Also, it is now full of bots and grifters, plus Musk’s own promoted tweets with whatever political thing he’s obsessed with at the moment showing up in everyone’s timelines.
Yeah, because US companies are forced to offer their services in the EU, right? And they definitely don’t do so because it’s incredibly profitable. Plus, the US definitely hates that the EU depends on them for so many things, giving them huge power and leverage.
Sure, you can do that, but irreparable harm might have been already caused. Sure, that’s unlikely when your product is an LLM wrapper. But in something like a database, it could be catastrophic.
I mean it could be, sure. But I think people are generally speaking more careful with higher stakes code than they are with lower stakes code. I know a lot of people who are YOLO'ing it with LLMs, but who ask for more understanding, more reviews, more tests, etc., in trickier areas. Which is only natural. Just like people are more careful when carrying a baby than when carrying a pillow.
(Yes, there will be individual exceptions to this, just like with everything else in life.)
