No? An essay is a test, not a proof of intelligence. Humans tend to do the minimal effort on things they dislike. If the task is not something we are interested in, we will tend to do the minimum needed to accomplish the task. That's not being stupid. What is stupid is forcing humans to do things they dislike.

We are perfectly capable to spend our mind on tasks we are interested in. AI just makes it easier to be lazy on shit we don't care about.

This is about effort, not intelligence. The article, like 99% of news articles these days, finds a shocking headline that is not supported by research (no serious research will associate effort spent on an essay with intelligence), and is happy with the high number of people it pleases.

They're not even remotely the same.

If I voted for Shitler by not voting for Holocaust Harris, did I also vote for Holocaust Harris by not voting for Shitler? Infinite vote glitch unlocked!

It is concerning that you do not understand that not voting enabled Trump. You're a lost cause.

I didn't say the solution was in the vote.

I've given up on all these tools, as I have found working with your usual test framework (depending on your language) much more convenient after all.

And now instead of understanding the functions, parameters, syntax and quirks yourself, to be able to produce quality code, which is the job of a software engineer, you ask an LLM to spit out code that seem to be working, do that again, and again, and again, and call it a day.

And then I'll be hired to fix it.

I say that as a web developer myself. Gecko has become problematic to work with. It's not the web devs fault that Gecko is now full of odd quirks.

I used to dev for Firefox, then test on Chrome. The amount of times I was looking for a non-existent bug in my code just to realise it works fine on Chrome and it's actually a Gecko bug not respecting a specification was a major factor in my choice to drop Firefox as my daily drive.

And the irony is that one of the best documentations for web specifications is made by Mozilla.

If your only criterium is the presence of AI, then of course it doesn't matter.

But Firefox has been degrading far before AI was even hyped. Mozilla basically gave up on its development as they lost their market share. Full of bugs, poor implementation of new standards, terrible optimization... That's why I switched to a Chromium based browser. Not because of AI.

In the same way that you are implementing the UI, you sometimes also need to implement the UX. Animations are part of the UX, preloading is part of the UX... That sort of things.

Just because a state self-proclaims to be socialist, doesn't mean it is.

I use my own gitea server. If I was willing to pay for a more solid service I'd probably go for GitLab.

It really feels like none of you read any of my comments.

Never have I said it's enough, or that they shouldn't do more.

All I'm saying is, recognising the state of Palestine is a good thing.

Stop putting words in my mouth, and read.

It's highly likely it will be restricted to implants only for quite some time, judging by how difficult it already is that way!
