I suppose this is why the AI labs are famously not releasing developer-oriented tools.

Meta adding an AI chat window in whatsapp and Microsoft adding copilot in every word document was not done with developers in mind, which is why they're missing a lot of power user features that they'd surely have if they were targeted at developers.

You're mistaking the majority of what you see (like Claude et al) with the majority of stuff that is out there. The vast majority of ChatGPT, CoPilot and Gemini users are not developers and will never be.

I agree, but some of them sure like to pretend!

There's a (terrifyingly) large number of developers who don't qualify as "security-oriented programmers".
