For a while, yes. Which is why you should do this. And you could always pay them more to keep them.
"What happens if we train these people and they leave?" "What happens if you don't and they stay"
Yeah. Different authors should have different voices. Having them all sound the same is like having all your food taste the same. It makes you want to throw up after a while.
That voice grates on you. It grates on all of us. But it would grate on us less if we didn't hear it all the time - if it wasn't half of the words coming at us.
Dibes said, "I am so exhausted of reading that particular voice that I made it half way through this article before I just couldn't do it anymore." I think what I said is exactly to his point.
“Read that clause again”
“That’s the whole thing in one sentence”
“Here’s why that breaks”
“Same shape, exactly”
“Here’s the cruel part”
“But look at the shape of it”
Most of us don't seem to care anymore if the _code_ is written by AI, so why should we care if other _content_ is written by AI?
80% of this is AI-prose-tropes. The tropes are load bearing.
(Any other ai-isms I can blast in? Probably)
What it boils down to is AI staying just bad enough to always need a developer to make the important calls. Meanwhile every effort is being made to improve it. If there's a ceiling that preserves our jobs and the value we bring to companies it will be a bitter pill to swallow for everyone else.
Maybe seniors are seniors because they care about their work so they won't be using AI crap for serious projects
