I've seen the argument AI doesn't necessarily make things easier, but rather allows to shift your thinking to a higher abstraction level, like you're managing junior devs. Instead of writing low level code, you're writing architecture, etc. As someone who does that IRL I'm somewhat open to it, but…

The problem is most AI bros don't (can't?) do that either. They have Claude design the architecture. Technical write-ups. Public announcement. Release notes. Hell, even ingame dialogue. Look in the average "AI assisted" repo & it's full of giant, token-consuming Markdown files full of AI rambling.

I instantly loose trust in a project if I see md files that says in 10000 words "please do not hallucinate" it's like you could have used this energy to write INTERESTING docs about the architecture, but instead, I have to read text that makes me dyslexic trying

They don't (can't) review the commits either. So even though the code may be open source, it's unusable by any normal human. That's why seeing Claude at the top of the contributors list is such a red flag. It often indicates the only intelligence that was involved in the project, was artificial.

I'm softer on AI used in coding compared to art or anything creative, but that's under the condition that it's used as a tool to help save time. Using it to flat-out write code just leads to problems. It's a shame. There's potential to make it positive but capitalism and the human factor...
