    “AI is a tool” is a thought-terminating cliche. The phrase is intended to foreclose other ways of framing the discussion.

      Yeah, it ignores the biggest problems a lot of people have with AI. It’s not the slop code, it’s that it was generated at a ridiculous cost to the environment and the population around the datacenter where it was trained.

        Its both low quality code and massive energy costs. Its a loose loose situation. If AI disappeared tomorrow, nothing would change, besides tech bros actually have to do a honest days work.
