i have more faith in this endpoint happening than gen ai but i’m just tired of tech news reporting hype

it’s really not

I’m ok with filtering adoption to bare minimum effort

imagine instead of ai it was your compiler

we all know they can have weird quirks but imagine the fail rates were like we are experiencing with current ai

would people keep these tools in their work flow?

if big business wasn’t so hard on to cut labor the answer would be a hard no

except using your metaphor, everyone using the hammer has the same problems, and it is using said hammer as advertised, regardless of what we all know should be best practices

there have been multiple big fuck ups now and i think the reason why matters less than the fact the cause will not improve any time soon

everyone using ai says some variation of this

acting like they do proper code review on this ai gen code but we’ve had so many examples of how people well before ai carried massive tech debt and cut corners so I have zero faith

much less the numerous examples of slop laden bugs making it to live with major companies in the us

ai just amplifies and obfuscates the problem

it could distort the signal or add noise

waterfox exists

and ublock origin works (time lag to fight new methods permitting)

honestly in stream ads are the current real hurdle
