It’s a pretty terrible one. AI is staying part of development forever.
There are problems, and there are better and worse ways to use it. Saying “no ai at all” isn’t much different than saying you can’t Google or use stack overflow. It’s pretty similar to the “don’t blindly paste code from stack overflow” problem in steroids.
The mass of ai slop contributions is a problem, yes. We need a better solution than just “let’s go back to how it was before”. We ain’t going back, and it’s a lazy fix.
That said, AI code used responsibly is nearly to completely indistinguishable from human code. This may serve to dissuade honest developers.
really odd way to argue a point
