I for one am not using AI, will not touch that steaming pile of manure with a 10 yard stick, and I couldn't care less about the so called magnitude 9 earthquake. When this bubble finally bursts into nothingness, I'll be still here practicing my craft and providing real value for my clients.

I'm using it less and less now, since the sheen has worn off and I've been able to more accurately judge its capabilities. It's like an intern at everything it does and unfortunately I'm expected to produce better code than that.

When was the last time you used it?

An agent like Claude code? Maybe a few weeks ago. I use ai autocomplete and ask Claude to explain basic stuff outside my wheelhouse, generate throwaway bash scripts, etc. And I have Claude review code I'm unsure of / rubber ducky debugging, but that's about it.

I'm very confused, are you or are you not an LLM run account?

A couple weeks ago, under a freshly made account "llmslave", you said it's already replacing devs and the field is cooked, and anyone who doesn't see that lacks the skills to adopt AI [1]

I pointed out that given your name and low quality comments, you were likely an LLM run account. As SOON as I made that comment, you abandoned the account and have now made a duplicate llmslave2 account, with a different opinion

Are you doing an experiment or something?

No, I'm just a fan account. No affiliation with the OG llmslave, I just thought the name and concept was funny.

Thanks for confirming what I thought.
