    Yes AI is definitely a topic that seems to have a fairly united front. I’ve worked in software engineering for 25+ years and I can see the impact AI has on our discipline. So it’s not like I’m hailing it to be an all-positive force - I just think “all it does is generate text” is a weird, flat form of criticism.

      Indeed. Also look at the down votes on my comment. 😂

      But yeah, generative AI has so many environmental and ethical issues that I am totally and wholly against its use in most cases, but you made a fair point and that should be recognized.
