I use a local deepseek-r1 instance for simple code refactorings and boilerplate (e.g. to generate obvious tests). Am I an asshat now?

    That depends... do you say obnoxious stuff like "AI let me 10x my productivity" or "You just need to right prompt, bro" or "AI will be good as soon as we build another trillion dollars in data centers"?

    Nah, actually I kind of hate most genAI because it's mostly a copypaste machine that steals other peoples code and art and stuff. But I do use it still because it speeds up menial tasks a lot and I don't feel like I'm stealing shit from others that way.

    i think it would do all of us a service to separate between generative AI and LLM assisted prompting.

    Keep the human element. I've seen some use cases where AI can help solve a human problem with a human need. I usually see slop intended to boost other numbers, like social media engagement stats and SEO (need 3 pages of content for your spaghetti recipe? Good news! AI can help, and it can make the recipe too. Now one robot pleases another and the human need is an afterthought)

    I use chat5-reasoning in cursor for code generation. I am also an asshat. But it's not because I use ai.

    According to this sub? Yup, most definitely! According to my own opinion? As long as you use it responsibly and limited to the scope of LLM (scope, as in: whatever one would usually use a Random Text Generator for, aka. inspiration, non-critical parsing, and mass spam attacks), then go ahead.

    This sub appears to be barking up the wrong tree most of the time anyway (just look at the name), so I wouldn't value anything that is posted here too high, ironically.
