alt Hacker News > Why do some software engineers love AI and some hate it?
1. its forced on me at $job; its just a tool so let me use it when i need it and stop making my work-life miserable with childish tokenmaxing leaderboards
2. co-workers who send low-effort low-quality pr's that introduce tons of complexity and waste everyone's time and that they cant answer basic questions about because they no longer know how it works
3. the absolute cult-like manic behavior with some people around "ai"... yes its fun and interesting and cool tech so please stop treating it like a religion ffs
just my 3c
I agree and would add to that from my experience:
1. Too many people think that having lots of text makes something impressive, really it's just inconsiderate and nobody is reading it all.
2. Helping people often feels pointless because I can tell I'm just getting a cut/paste AI response back.
