alt Hacker NewsI get why someone may use AI to try to speed things up. Let’s put aside if that would even be useful at that point on the M4
I don’t understand complaining someone who spent their own time doing something isn’t using AI instead.
Is it all that different from asking why someone painted something when AI could generate an image of a painting for you?
It probably wasn’t intended as such but the sentiment that comes across to me is “why did you bother?”
There are certainly people who would always be anti-AI. But there are a lot of people like me who continually bristle at how an AI booster seems to show up in every discussion implicitly implying you’re dumb for wasting your time by not using it.
You know how people got really sick really fast on HN of people asking “why not Rust” on any discussion vaguely related to programming no matter how little it made sense? Or “A blockchain would fix that”?
Yeah. That. Again.

I don't agree. In this case it's asking AI to analyze the high-res photos of Van Gogh to learn what paint he used, what techniques, how he held his pencil and how did his strokes look like.
Sure, you could then also ask to paint one for you in similar style, but that's not what is being suggested here.
