“Experiencing interruptions? Find out why” - Naah I’m fine dude, just take your time.

I use the TVTime app. It’s a bit shit (mainly the atrocious loading times), but it works.

That Wizard of Oz movie is really weird. They put the original movie into a tiny area and generated a whole load of surroundings with AI.

The original framing and artistic intent get totally lost, it’s a novel idea but a shit product as a movie. “Be Kind Rewind” watched it live and made a lengthy review about that slopfest on YouTube.

Singapore put one of the first full AI movies into cinemas last year: “Madam Zheng”. It is absolute garbage, got a 1.6/10 on IMDB and barely anyone watched it. I didn’t find any news articles about it at the time, but the YouTuber Pinely made a video about it with some details and horrible shots.

Dev:

Quite honestly, if that’s the level of bugs we’re dealing with due to our use of AI tools, that’s a pretty good deal.

Response:

Out of the 4 commits I’ve looked at, I found 2 bugs (potentially). That doesn’t worry you? Do half of your commits normally have difficult to spot bugs?

At least the comedic value of this project is pretty high.

I thought we would finally have haptic touchscreens in our devices. There were some experiments in the past, but it never happened outside of niche industry applications.

Makes me a little bit sad, because being able to feel elements is really useful - I can type blind on my Titan 2 phone (which has a real keyboard) and in cars, it would really improve safety.

But I’ll miss reactions like these:

Ahhhhhhhh look at me I’ve lost the ability to read code!!!

Pretending that skill atrophy isn’t a real issue doesn’t make it go away. The more a developer outsources his brain to an LLM, the more skills they lose over time. I experienced it first hand, because I wasn’t always so strictly against “AI” and used it extensively for many months. But I noticed that I wasn’t able to solve pretty simple coding tasks after a while anymore, tasks which were second nature to me before. Anyone who mindlessly boosts AI without even taking this into consideration, isn’t a good developer.

I still code better than most of my juniors.

This statement is a nothingburger. You can’t hype yourself up to make yourself more legitimate, anyone can just claim things on the internet. In order to assess if you are truly a good coder, another senior who doesn’t use AI would have to look over your code. The results might surprise you.

I’ll leave it at that, you completely jumped on the hypetrain, you aren’t even interested in a real discussion and my time is too valuable to spend it on such trivialities. I just feel sorry for the juniors working under your management and I hope you’ll not be out of a job when OpenAI, Anthropic and all of the other big “AI” companies eventually go down the drain.

So you’re saying I will get more promotions by deskilling myself? Yeah, sure, that makes sense…

You people are going to get so left behind

Been hearing that for two years, mate.

He only lost the first of his 99 lives.

The pinnacle of entertainment software.

I refuse to believe that the Pluribus series from Vince Gilligan is not actually about AI. There are so many scenes in it that could be adopted to people overusing LLMs.

I’m currently playing all of the Ratchet & Clank games in rpcs3, upscaled to 4k resolution. They look and play great! 😍

After that, it’s gonna be time for the Jak & Daxter series in the OpenGoal engine.

Funfact: Morrowind has a pretty nice Star-Wars total conversion mod:

Starwind.

It’s a bit buggy, weird, extremely ambitious and a lot of fun. They even managed to put in janky space flights and combat. 😄

The description of this community literally reads:

A place for all those who loathe AI

So why are you complaining? Do you also go to McDonalds and yell at people eating french fries?
I’m sure there’s a community for people who love AI on the Fediverse as well.

Edit: Just did a quick search, there is claudeai, gemini, microsoft_copilot, chatgpt and openai on lemmy.world. Lots of other places for slop enthusiasts to present their greatest achievements.

Heroic is also doing some sloppy things, though.

Don’t preorder Cyberpunk.

I have stopped using it, because the skill atrophy kicked in and I don’t want to turn into someone chatting with a bot every day.

To quote myself:

I work as a software developer and over the last months, I slipped into a habit of letting ChatGPT write more and more code for me. It’s just so easy to do! Write a function here, do some documentation there, do all of the boilerplate for me, set up some pre-commit hooks, …

Two weeks ago I deleted my OpenAI account and forced myself to write all code without LLMs, just as I did before. Because there is one very real problem of excessive AI useage in software development: Skill atrophy.

I was actively losing knowledge. Sometimes I had to look up the easiest things (like builtin Javascript functions) I was definitely able to work with off the top of my head just a year ago. I turned away from being an actual developer to someone chatting with a machine. I slowly lost the fun in coding, because I outsourced the problem solving aspects that gave me a dopamine boost to the AI. I basically became a glorified copypaster.

I really hope so, but for that to happen, hardware prices have to go down again and that might take a while.
