I'm trying to figure out why this post didn't get run out of town like several others recently, for starters it hit several favorite discussion topics.


I missed this disclaimer about it being 100% AI-generated.

In one second I went from "looks cool" to "I don't want to touch it"


Why? It's not like LLMs can't generate solid code, and it's not like people don't guide them carefully to produce the code they want.

So you have an irrational anti-progress bias. OK.


Let's not disingenuously put words in people's mouths. What if the bias is rational? What if it's not "anti-progress" but something else?


I'm not putting words in anyone's mouth, I'm stating my conclusion.

What else would the bias be? AI is a useful tool, to blanket 'not like' anything generated by AI seems ludditesque.
