AI Eliminates the Need for Real Programmers

I think that, in the longer term, when I have the time to curate my own AI models and apply the principle of removing bad information to reduce entropy, AI has the potential to help teach novice coders to become intermediate-level coders.

But at the moment, it's just not there yet. Even the fabled Claude code engine—which most of my friends rave about—seems rather lightweight to me.

I'm sorry, but I just operate at a different intellectual level. Why not be blunt about it? I look at code from a very particular lens, emphasizing simplicity and security. While Claude might be helpful for looking up obscure syntax now and then, for me, it's mostly an exercise in frustration when it tries to give advice on how to write systems-level, production-quality code.

The issue with large language models is that they reflect societal dysfunction. Let's face it: our society is awfully confused about many issues, including the fact that some men think it's a good idea to have sex with minor family members, when a better overall choice would be to pay for a professional sex worker who is consenting and hopefully not there as a result of human trafficking.

One has to be very measured in the use of AI, since it can decrease individuality and increase entropy if given too much latitude.
