Reliance on artificial-intelligence tools degrades the abilities of physicians and software engineers, studies show.
i mean look at reddit andf dev subreddit. since ai NONE of them look capable to code anything.
I think in five years — if the tools manage to stick around — finding coders that can work without AI assistance will be like finding skilled assembler developers.

Isn’t the entire point of computers to achieve a result faster than we could without them?
Your argument seems like bemoaning the invention of the paint roller because people won’t learn how to use brushes or their hands to paint walls.
Work output isn’t inherently more valuable just because the job was harder to do, or took more effort.
To stay with the paint analogy, AI is more like a paint roller that can paint by itself.
Just tell it what color you want the room to be, and walk away. Did it remove the original coat properly? Sand, prime, and double recoat? No idea, it looks good at the moment. But we’ll find out in a couple years when the cracks and bubbles start showing.
…which would be a useful continuation of the analogy if not for the fact that 95% of human house painters rush through jobs, cut costs on materials, and overcharge.
Just like every other new technology before it, those who oppose love to compare the lowest quality output of the new technology to the output of the Top 5% of human craftspeople.
For anything AI can do, there are MILLIONS of lazy humans taking 100 times longer pumping out the same or worse quality work at 10 times the cost.
Eh, not really, and it isn’t really an argument but more of a lighthearted prediction.
I think the big question is whether or not the “frontier” models continue to be available and evolve, because the business model for running them seems very unsound.
I kinda hope the AI bubble busts, and that afterwards some of the efforts turn toward making open source models more performant and powerful.

Said the AI comment.
The intro of Idiocracy on overdrive. Well done.
What?
Walley if anything, but I hate how fucking no one understands Idiocracy but other idiot always upvote any comment containing it.
I’ve watched thst movie at least 4 times and can pretty much cite it.
The beginning shows the downfall of humanity due to the wrong people reproducing, true. That’s not exactly to what’s going on here. Still it’s a parallel.
Were voluntarily externalizing and hence losing knowledge.
So whats your issue. That it’s not identical? Gatekeeping the understanding of Idiocracy, man. Get a grip.
Why the fuck would anyone answer your questions when you ask them like that?
Why wouldn’t the other person just give up on helping you understand it?
Like, you memorized some quotes to a movie you didn’t understand, congrats bro, that’s what a fucking chatbot can do. That’s the level you’re on, but you undoubtedly think of yourself as Not Sure.
I feel like you’ve never seen the movie Idiocracy before. It’s about how the general population gets stupider over time and finally when the most average person in the world finds himself in the future with all of the dumbs, he’s the smartest person in the world. That’s the whole point of the movie. Sure the movie setup is different than this in that it’s about the only worst people reproducing and raising dumb children to perpetuate that cycle.
Your initial response was hostile to OP, and then you had your feelings hurt when they responded sternly? Then you throw fucking tantrum like a the dumbs in Idiocracy, which again, I think you should watch, so that next time you care to talk about the movie, you at least have a base understanding of what it’s about. Fucking grow up.
Breaking News: making robots do stuff for you destroys your ability to do stuff.
From the future:
AI was the stealthy nail in the coffin. We’d already experienced a century of loss of knowledge. Basic things like animal husbandry, growing crops, mining, smelting, forging…programming. all the things that used to be done by brute human strength or knowledge were now done by computers and AI. But profit was king, out with the old knowledge, in with the new lack of it.
So when the calamity finally happened, nobody was left with any of the knowledge to rebuild.
Ha, jokes on you. I never had the skills to ruin. Now I can make my messes bigger.
