alt Hacker NewsThese are "AI"-addicted developers that you're talking to.
They have been tricked into a world-view which validates their continual, lazy use of high-tech auto-generators.
They have been tricked into gleefully opting in to their own deskilling.
Expecting an "AI"-addicted developer to file a bug is like expecting an MSNBC or Fox News viewer to attend a town meeting.
The goal of "AI" products is to foster laziness, dependency, and isolation in their users.
Expecting these users to take any sort of action outside of further communication with their LLM chatbots does not square with the social function of these products.
Edit (response to the guy/LLM below me):
Hackernews comments written by fearmongering LLM idiots will tell me to "keep an open mind" about dogshit LLM chatbots until the day I die.
LLM technology is garbage.
If these tools are changing the world, they're only doing so by:
1. Dramatically facilitating the promulgation of idiotic delusions
2. Making enterprise software far, far more vulnerable than it was even in the recent past

this is a lazy take. all software has bugs and defects.
part of what we do, as developers is to learn. to have an open mind to new tools and technologies.
these tools are… different, they’re changing the world (fast), and worth trying to understand. your mental rigidity to doing things “the right way” will hold you back and limit your growth. the world is changing. are you?
Attending council meetings as a citizen observer is a huge waste of your time. The council already knows how it’s going to vote. The whole public-facing legislative process is community theater.
