Yeah, I am the same.
I type the code myself, so I know what it actually means, instead of letting AI do it.

It might seem different now, but 10-20 years down the line, they might be the same energy.

I mean maybe. But one is a deterministic way to do the exact same thing, the other is a nondeterministic way to maybe do a similar thing.

Yeah, that's right.

But are enough of the AI generation people going to understand the difference?
I feel like, due to the reduction of quality expectations, they will just end up feeling the same about this as we do about the previous one, despite the difference being visible as night and day for us.
