that's you doing exactly the thing told in the 'reverse centaur' stage talk?

AI/LLM for coding assistance is the shit for grunt work and beyond. It is excellent at summaries, information retrieval, etc. Logic and reasoning have strides to make yet. "Generarive AI" for images, video, voice work, plenty of valid reasons to hate AI there. Not enough individuals differentiate the two, it's easier to blanket the advent and just bandwagon on "AI bad".

I think hallucination happens most often if context or knowledge is missing. I have seen coding assistants write code that made no sense, I then helped them along go get back on the right path by providing context.

I also extensively use AI to code in a similar way you do (tbf I am, to this day, not sure if I am actually faster and how it affects my ability to code).

Overall I think the answer is somewhere in the middle, they hallucinate and need some help when they do. But with proper context they work quite well.

both are true.

Its the typical "the enemy is both weak and strong" contradiction, which nazi propaganda often ran into since their ideology was unscientific and illogical

It's because the "AI bad" crowd on Lemmy are dumb and annoying, but they are vocal. AI is an incredibly useful tool. As a senior dev I also use the shit out of LLMs to speed up my work. They do not hallucinate, at least during coding sessions. And I believe they will take junior level front end developers out of the market. Senior developers, who know how to review the code that is generated, will be safe.
