      eh, i work in IT. the amount AI contributes is astounding. unfortunately i know one university having their compsci students now doing their projects using AI.

      it definitely is an efficiency gain

        How to promote brain atrophy…

        But I guess it’s difficult for Universities to adjust, indeed…

        And yes, I agree, I write less and less manual code, but it’s not fun. Endless context switching is really not promoting flow states, that I had when I programmed for ours… Which I consider what made it fun in the first place.

        Me too. But do you think people outside of IT will get the same boost? I think that 90% of IT work would be totally redundant if people knew a little of Python, all we do is guardrails upon guardrails. I have a suspicion that AI constrained enough for your average office worker to understand what its doing is not going to be terribly productive.

      I can tell you’re not working in IT…

      It’s astonishing how quickly it changed the field there…

      And indeed it’s quite a productivity tool since roughly half a year ago, not that it is fun, to use it all the time…
