as a software engineer dont you have management pushing this shit on you

"it was only used in a minor capacity and there is nothing ai-generated in the final product" is especially funny because the immediate followup question is "if its presence was supposedly so inconsequential you could strip it in its entirety from the final product then why did you use it at all"

Developers used debugger during production Final product does not include debug symbols "Why did you even use it to begin with" How dare you even put this on the same level as the literal mining of cobalt. You're deluded thinking this AI use is even noteworthy

Who's harmed here? IP holders? Artists?, artists not protected by any system whatsoever due to the failing of the world's economical mechanisms? One key difference is that you own and have bought products with cobalt, you have directly contributed to the continued exploitation of people,real people

Because your entire moral framework around ai is invalid

As a student, I deeply related to "Why didn’t you let someone learn?" I'm paying to be taught, but instead the teachers just keep pushing AI more and more, saying stuff like "In the future, a programmer's job will be to validate AI output", as if that isn't extremely depressive Let ME do it T3T

it continues to honestly amaze me how committed they are to burning their last dollar in the ai furnace its actually insane the world is telling them on a daily basis "this sucks, its not working, we dont want it, its not profitable, we dont like you if you use it" and they just keep going anyway

It is so shortsighted too. Like any non-delusional person can see, this is not going to last, and soon tokens will be more expensive than a regular coder, who would be a junior learning today.

like at this point its looking like companies will happily, desperately burn themselves dry to their last fuckin penny into the ai furnace and then wonder why they go bust its gotta be some kind of brainwashing cult or mind control or hypnotism or something it doesnt make sense otherwise

> why didn't you let someone learn i can't stop you from learning, but until i make some money, i can't pay you to either > why didn't you pay someone to make those see above > why is that okay with you nothing about capital exchange is ok with me, i play what i'm dealt

Then fold. You are not entitled to others work for free, use your shriveled up grey wad of meat and think, otherwise it will atrophy

gosh, yeah, i had just guessed, based on the tone of this post, but then i went and looked. you truly contribute nothing but vitriol to the internet and should log off :)

i've written more and better software by hand then you ever will in your life. you only know how to yell at people on the internet. i will use whatever tools i like :) loser

We have been paying employees through training for fucking decades, please ask yourself why we are suddenly incapable of doing that now.

i'm not EA, homie

One curious perspective a more recent instance of this brought up- "we use it so devs can focus more on creative tasks" - do people not consider coding as a creative task, as part of the creative process of game dev?

As a hapless 3d artist forcing myself to code I definitely don't, but I'm still not gonna use AI. I'd rather it be my own shitty spiteful code than slop

Why not pay someone to do it
